Immediate and long-lasting benefits in hydration from a body moisturizer utilizing an interpenetrating polymer network

As opposed to facial, body skin is thicker, less oily and has slower keratinocyte turnover, thus its hydration requirements also differ. A new body formula was developed that is rich in essential fatty acids and fortified with osmolytes to permeate the epidermis with humectants and anti-oxidants embedded in a tridimensional (3D3P) molecular matrix. A single-center, 4-week study was conducted in healthy females, ages 35-65 from all ethnicities, with dry and aged skin. Skin attributes were assessed at baseline and at weeks 1 and 4 after initiating twice daily application to arms and legs.
