Alhydran Medical Cream

How does Alhydran work?

Alhydran is a powerful moisture-regulating cream that penetrates deep into the skin and improves the skin from within. It offers lasting skin hydration and helps the skin recover. As a result, Alhydran reduces skin problems.

A healthy skin barrier
Regulating hydration is an important tool of the skin in protecting itself against harmful external influences. A healthy skin has a stable amount of water that leaves the body (TEWL). The upper skin layer consists of approximately 30% water. This level is necessary for optimal functioning of the skin.

A damaged skin barrier
When the skin barrier is disrupted, the body loses an abnormal high volume of water through the skin. This will result in a decrease of the normal water percentage in the epidermis, causing the skin barrier to disfunction. This vulnerable skin is unable to heal and protect itself.

Complaints arise such as severe itching, redness, dry skin etc. This in turn can cause, among other things, unfavorable scar development, trigger eczema and stagnation of wound healing. This skin needs optimal hydration of the epidermis and restoration of the barrier function to be able to recover.

The hydrating effect

Alhydran has a double function, both necessary for repairing a disrupted skin barrier:

1. Optimal hydration of the epidermis
2. Skin barrier recovery

Alhydran restores the moisture balance within 2 hours. (scientifically proven), due to:

1. Powerful hydration
2. Moisture retention (via occlusion)

Alhydran contains ingredients, such as antioxidants, which protect the skin against free radicals. These unique restorative effects, in combination with optimal hydration and occlusion, ensure that the disrupted skin barrier can recover itself.

The risk of scarring is decreased, existing scars and complaints such as itching are relieved, eczema triggers and peri-wound complications are reduced, to promote optimal wound healing.
