La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mains

La Roche-Posay je jesenas Cicaplast liniji dodao dva nova proizvoda - balzam za usne Cicaplast Levres i kremu za ruke Cicaplast Mains. Mada kremu koristim cele zime, moje telo je mesecima bilo u "neću" fazi, fazi kada je u veoma lošem stanju i kada ne reaguje na proizvode za negu i zato vam ih nisam ni predstavljala. No sada izlazim iz te faze i mogu realno da procenim učinak kreme i da vam je napokon predstavim.

Last fall La Roche-Posay added two more products to their Cicaplast line - Cicaplast Levres lip balm and Cicaplast Mains hand cream. While I have been using the hand cream the whole winter, my body was in what I call "don't want to" period, when it is in very bad shape and it doesn't react to care products, so I wasn't showing you any of them. But now I'm coming out of that phase and I can judge the effectiveness of cream and give my review.

Sastav/Ingredients: Aqua / Water, Glycerin (30%), Butylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Niacinamide (4%), Glyceryl Stearate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter / Shea Butter, Dimethicone, Peg/Ppg-18/18 Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Sodium Polyacrylate, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol

Aktivni sastojak ove kreme je niancinamid, amid vitamina B3. U nezi kože ovaj sastojak se koristi protiv zapaljenjskih procesa. Proizvođač kaže i da "niacinamid umiruje osećaj svraba, podstiče sintezu lipida i tako doprinosi ubrzanju obnove zaštitnog sloja kože", što nije nešto što mogu proveriti jer koža mojih ruku nije oštećena. Među sastojcima se nalaze i sve tri vrste ovlaživača - emolijensi (gliceril stearat, ši buter, dimetikon, kaprilil glikol), humektanti (glicerin, butilen glikol) i okluzivi (dimetikon). Humektanti su pravi ovlaživači. Oni skupljaju vlagu bilo povlačeći je iz dubljih slojeva kože u epidermis bilo "hvatajući" je iz okruženja. Treba ih kombinovati sa okluzivima. Okluzivi usporavaju ili sprečavaju isparavanje vode iz kože tako što stvaraju masnu barijeru između kože i okruženja. Emolijensi su sredstva koja kožu čine mekšom i nežnijom. Oni sprečavaju isušivanje kože. Voda u ovoj kremi je termalna voda La Roche-Posay.

Active ingredient of this hand cream is niancinamide, a vitamin B3 amide. In skincare this ingredient is used against inflammatory skin conditions. The manufacturer states that niancinamide reduces itching, boosts lipid synthesis and repairs the skin's protective barrier, which isn't something I can check because my skin isn't damadged. Among the ingredients are all three sorts of moisturisers - emolients (isopropyl isostearate, dicapryl ether, dimethicone), humectants (glycerin, sodium hyaluronate) and occlusives (dimethicone). Humectants are true moisturisers. They grab onto water from the surrounding environment and draw it to your skin as well as draw some water from deeper layers of skin into epidermis. They should be combined with occlusives. Occlusives slow down or prevent evaporation of water from skin by forming an oily barrier between the skin and the environment. Emollients make the skin softer and smoother. They prevent the drying out. The water in this product is La Roche-Posay thermal water.

Nemasna i nelepljiva tekstura otporna je na pranje ruku i mehaničko trenje prema rečima proizvođača. Volela bih da mogu da se složim sa ovom izjavom. Krema nije preterano masna, ali jeste lepljiva. Glicerin pravi klizavo-lepljivi sloj na rukama, ali taj se sloj lako otire, a ruke i dalje bivaju nahranjene, što znači da ostali sastojci vrše svoj posao - hrane suvu kožu ruku. Ako vam je važno kako krema miriše, mirisa skoro i da nema. Uputstvo kaže da kremu treba mazati po potrebi. Veoma mi je drago što mogu reći da je meni ova krema smanjila potrebu za mazanjem ruku. U početku sam je mazala nekoliko puta dnevno, prema potrebi. Posle otprilike nedelju dana sam počela da je mažem samo uveče, a sada svakog drugog-trećeg dana. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mains krema je spakovana u tubu od 50 ml, zdognu za torbu, ali po teksturi meni ovo nije krema koju bih nosila sa sobom. Gusta je i malo je potrebno da se namažu obe šake, ali treba joj malo više vremena da se upije i mislim da je zgodnija za kućnu upotrebu nego za torbu. Preporučena maloprodajna cena je 810 dinara. Predstavljeni proizvod sam dobila na iskrenu recenziju. Za više informacija vidite moju politiku rada.

Quick-absorbing texture, invisible, non oily and non-sticky finish is how manufacturer describes this cream. I wish I could agree. Cream isn't too oily, but it is sticky. Glycerine creates slick and sticky surface on hands, but that layer is easily rubbed off and hands stay nourished, which means the rest of the ingredients are doing the trick. If the scent of cream is important to you this one has barely any scent. Instructions say that this cream should be used whenever needed. I am very happy to say this cream decreased my need for hand cream. At first I had to apply it several times per day, whenever I needed it. After about a week I started only to use it at night, and now I only need it every other-third day. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mains comes in 50 ml tube, great fit for a bag, but this isn't sort of cream I'd carry around. It is thick and a little goes a long way, but it does take some time for skin to absorb it and I think it is better for use at home than on the go. I have received this product for an honest review.
