Vichy’s Dermablend fluid corrective foundation formula combines a high concentration of pigments for heavy coverage for scars, lesions and red or dry patches of skin. Among these nourishments, oxygen, which has antibacterial qualities, serves as the primary ingredient in rejuvenating the skin to promote rapid healing of compromised skin.

Users have reported seeing anti-aging benefits that they have never experienced with other products. This is because Lycogel believes that beauty and skin benefits go hand-in-hand. When people buy Lycogel makeup products, they are also investing in their skin. Lycogel is the first breathable colour corrective foundation treatmentthat combines cosmetic and skincare technology to promote the healing of damaged or post-procedural skin offering an immediate solution. Lycogel helps support the healing of skin, which is why it is so great for use following a laser treatment when the skin can be a little red and sensitive. It can also help minimise the appearance of scars, hence why it is used following a facial procedure such as a facelift or rhinoplasty. However, as mentioned above, it can also be used long-term to promote overall skin benefits and appearance.

Here is a brown algae extract (the most common type, about 59% of macroalgae), also just called Algae Extract on the product label that is simply claimed to be a free radical scavenger, aka antioxidant. These were just three random examples from three manufacturers all called Algae extract even though they all come from different algae with different claims. It'salso highly stableand non-irritating.

Oxygen heals, that’s why it’s often used to help skin recover from burns and other wounds. Oxygen also beautifies the skin; it defies wrinkles and gives a more vibrant complexion. The disadvantage of Titanium Dioxide is that it's not cosmetically elegant, meaning it's a white, "unspreadable" mess. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxideare often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitishtint. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problemand the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improveboth spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns.

Adding oxygen helps the skin recover from burns and other wound, as well as it helps improve the skin by renewing cells, stimulating collagen and elastin, minimising lines, while soothing the skin and making it look more vibrant.We have also browsed through Prospector to see what manufacturers sayabout their algae. There is, for example,an algae extract trade-named Lanablue that comes fromblue-green algae (green algae is rare, less than 1% of the total macroalgae in the world) and is claimed to have retinoid like effects(i.e. reduce wrinkles, smooth skin) but without the side effects (though it seems now that the INCI name of Lanablue was changed to Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae Extract). Second, a study that examined the skin absorption of vitamin C found that ascorbyl palmitate did not increase the skin levels of AA. This does not mean thatascorbyl palmitate cannot penetrate the skin (because it can, it's oil soluble and the skin likes to absorb oil soluble things) but this means that it's questionable ifascorbyl palmitate can be converted into pure Vit C in the skin. Even if it can beconverted, the palmitate part of the molecule is more than the half of it, so the efficacy will not be good and we have never seen a serum that contains a decent (and proudly disclosed) amount of AP. We are highly skeptical what effect a tiny amount of AP has in a formula. Improve the condition of your skin with Lycogel’s Lyco-Complex. This provides increases the oxygen intake of the skin thus promoting repair. It leaves you with a radiant and healthy skin. Lycogel’s Triple Silica Gel is unique and revolutionary offering many benefits to the skin. Lycogel products aid in reducing the skin problems and covers up most flaws. It lightens the areas required and gives an even complexion. People with sensitive skin and skin conditions can also use Lycogel camouflage makeup products comfortably. The unique formula containing Triple Silica Gel and Lyco Complex helps in improving the skin condition without causing any irritability. Lycogel was most commonly used in a cosmetic setting for post procedure use to encourage the skin to repair and reduce pain, and to camouflage, but Lycogel is suitable for all skin types, and we encourage it to be used as your regular foundations. It is of particular benefits to patients who suffer with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and acne, we recommend this due to the fact that it will not mask the skin and sit in areas that are damaged. Lycogel contains ingredients with therapeutic benefits, and the camouflage formulation of the product helps to cover and disguise the problems you may have. In time the triple silica and Lyco complex will also repair the skin too. It is also recommended as an anti-ageing foundation. What areas is it suitable for?

Nor, I’m afraid, are there any good reasons to recommend the use of RP". We would addespeciallyduring the day!Lycogel is designed to help you look your best, while enjoying all the benefits for better skin. It lets your skin breathe, stay moisturised, and thrive with the number of nutrients present in the products. Even if you have overly sensitive skin, its products are designed to accommodate various skin types and skin concerns. Unlike mineral makeup and traditional cosmetics, Lycogel provides a patented gel mesh that mimics the structure of the skin known as “second skin” technology. This allows Lycogel to function and breathe as if you weren’t wearing any makeup at all, feeling light to the touch, even when layered for superior coverage, with added protection against water and the transfer onto clothing. Firstly, it's stability is only similar to that of pure ascorbic acid (AA), which means it is not really stable. A great study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology compared a bunch of vitamin C derivatives and this derivative was the only one where the study said in terms of stability that it's "similar to AA". Not really that good. In addition normal foundations often do not provide enough camouflage makeup or longevity for covering lesions, patches and scars caused by problem skin.
