  • Skin barrier function restoration
  • Film forming

Several clinical studies have been conducted to prove the efficacy of the active:

1. Proven emolliency and humectancy on severe dryness, by Prof. G.E. Piérard, University Hospital of Liège, Begium.

Measuring the rate of water accumulation by electrometric assessments

The volunteers: 30 type 1 and type 2 diabetic menopausal women suffering from moderate-to-severe feet xerosis

Treatment with the cream containing the KiOsmetine-CG® compared to the placebo showed:

  • A higher dermal phase meter value at each evaluation
  • An increase of the stratum corneum hydration
  • An improved residual effect during the post-treatment phase

The impressive results : a potent remedial active for severe dryness in sensitive skins.
