Discover the perfect cleansing routine with the skin experts at REVIDERM
Intelligent cleansing is the be-all and end-all of sensible skincare tailored to the skin's key needs. So why do so many people struggle with this topic? Typical cases, questions – and solutions from the REVIDERM skincare experts.
The Thirsty One
'My skin is one thing above all else: dehydrated. Sometimes I think cleansing products aren't good for me at all, as they strip too much from the skin.’
Kerstin Süß, REVIDERM Business Development
Diagnosis
Dehydration and tightness are skin problems that can be most easily remedied with good skincare. Cleansing that is appropriate for your skin type is essential, as it eliminates stress factors and paves the way for subsequent moisturisers to be better absorbed into the skin. In the long term, this leads to more moisture in the skin.
Recommendation
Cleansing with pure water would not be a good idea: water raises the pH value of the skin and, paradoxically, dries it out even more due to a physical phenomenon. The best option is a cleanser that removes dirt without surfactants, does not contain alcohol and immediately supplies the skin with water-binding substances.
Products
gentle cleansing milk
Extra mild, surfactant-free cleansing milk with anti-pollution effect. Frees the skin from harmful substances and dirt particles, protects against irritation and moisturises the skin with a hydro complex.
gentle pH balancer
The alcohol-free tonic balances the skin's pH value, prevents inflammation and irritation, and protects the skin's natural moisture.
The Uncomplicated One
‘I don't really have any skin problems, thankfully, but when it comes to choosing cleansing products, I'm completely in the dark. I just don't know what I really need.’
Silke Thon, REVIDERM accountant
Diagnosis
Uncomplicated skin does not have any special cleansing requirements, except for this: cleansing is essential, otherwise you run the risk of developing problem skin due to cell stress caused by pollutants and accumulated toxins in the stratum corneum.
Recommendation
Even normal skin should be cleansed in the morning and evening. The most important thing is to maintain a balance between cleansing and moisturising, which is easy to achieve with mild, nourishing products.
Products
pore refining foam
Mild cleansing foam with biomimetic soft peeling effect. Regulates and normalises the keratinisation process, gently removes make-up, sebum and dirt particles, and leaves the skin feeling velvety soft thanks to silk proteins.
thermal tonic
Remineralising, stabilising tonic made from specially treated thermal water with valuable trace elements. Soothes, strengthens the barrier function and restores the skin's balance.
The Shiny One
‘My skin starts to shine again just a few hours after cleansing, and I also have blemishes and sometimes purulent pustules. I can't be cleansing too much, can I?’
Philomena Böhm, apprentice industrial clerk
Diagnosis
Skin that is shiny and prone to inflammatory blemishes is suffering from ‘seborrhoea oleosa’, i.e. the oily, shiny variant of blemished skin. Effective combinations of active ingredients specifically targeted at this skin type regulate sebum production and prevent the formation of spots without drying out the skin.
Recommendation
Oily, shiny skin can easily be over-cleansed when aggressive surfactants and drying alcohols such as ethanol are used. Better: use an oil-free cleanser twice a day that gently regulates the skin. In the long term, this will achieve by far the best results.
Products
purifying gel
Oil-free cleansing gel. Thoroughly removes sebum and cream residues, make-up and dirt particles from the skin. The fresh gel formula reduces impurities and prevents inflammation.
purifying tonic
Regulating tonic with anti-stress complex. Relieves itching, blemishes and shine without drying out the skin.
purity roll-on forte
SOS solution for spots. Dissolves horny skin and sebum, regulates the natural bacterial flora, wards off pathogenic germs.
The Versatile One
‘My complexion is uneven because I keep getting flaky, dark patches. Can I do anything about this when cleansing my skin?’
Maria Heinrich, REVIDERM Customer Service
Diagnosis
Flaky skin indicates a keratinisation disorder, while pigment spots are often the result of skin stress caused by environmental factors. Both problems can be alleviated with consistent cleansing tailored to the skin's condition.
Recommendation
Fruit acids are the best choice for cleansing: when used in the right dosage and combination, they gently combat calluses and impurities. Used consistently, these AHA preparations also slow down the development of pigment spots, as they remove stress factors from the skin.
Products
AHA cleansing foam
Multifunctional cleansing foam with fruit acid for clear and smooth skin. Thoroughly but gently removes make-up, sebum and dirt particles, helping to evenly exfoliate dead skin cells. Evens out the complexion.
AHA toner
Multifunctional fruit acid toner against calluses. Supplies the cells with energy through creatine, gives the skin a new glow, moisturises and reduces wrinkles.
The sensitive one
‘My skin burns easily and reddens quickly. I'm afraid of stressing it unnecessarily by cleansing it. Isn't water enough?’
Angelika Brodde,Editorial team for the customer magazine care
Diagnosis
Gentle cleansing is crucial for mature skin with couperose, as it removes environmental pollutants without irritating the skin. A fragrance-free routine that balances the pH value and optimises the barrier function is essential for reducing redness.
Recommendation
Two steps are ideal. First remove impurities, then strengthen the acid mantle with a toner. Always be extra gentle with couperose: never rub, it is best to use lukewarm water and apply toner with a soft cotton pad.
Prodcuts
neuro sensitive de-stress cleanser
Gentle cleansing bi-gel with extra low pH value. Preserves the natural acid mantle, stabilises the microflora, reduces redness and overreactions. Provitamin B5 soothes, moisturises and promotes regeneration.
neuro sensitive de-stress toner
For the perfect finish: toner with an extra low pH value and highly effective aqua boosters for moisturising. Hydrates the skin long-term, making it more resilient, fresh and supple.
