Skin gel +

Skin Gel+ is an oil-free hyaluronic serum that provides the skin with plenty of moisture - and this is the key to healthy, firm skin: because intensive moisturization reduces inflammation and helps prevent wrinkles. Another positive property: the skin gel+ refines the pores. It is used like a serum or a booster and can be combined with any skin care product. If you want to use it together with squalane from Beyer & Soehne, first apply the skin gel+, then squalane and as a last step a sunscreen. The Skin Gel+ is suitable for all skin types, including particularly sensitive skin.

The basis of Skin Gel+ is hyaluronic acid, a component of various types of connective tissue and joint fluid. It can bind large amounts of water (six liters per gram) and is then gel-like. Hyaluronic acid (scientific name hyluronan) exists as high-molecular (long-chain), medium-molecular and low-molecular (short-chain) hyaluron. All of them have proven themselves in skin care, but low-molecular hyaluronic acid is particularly beneficial because it can penetrate deeper into the skin and has a better long-term effect. It is stored in the connective tissue and has an anti-wrinkle effect. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid forms a moisturizing film on the skin. All types of hyaluronic acid are contained in Hautgel+, the main component is oligohyaluronic acid, the smallest hyaluronic acid. In addition, it contains, among others, moisturizing panthenol and ectoin, which forms a protective water film on the skin and helps shield it from stress factors such as dryness, heat, cold and UV radiation. Antioxidants (1% green tea, 1% encapsulated resveratol) protect against free radicals; vitamin C (5%) proves effective against signs of premature aging, acne and pigmentation spots. The base consists of five ceramides and ceramide precursors (skin's own substances that form the main part of fats in the upper layer of the skin) to strengthen the skin barrier, which retains moisture, and support natural skin renewal. Furthermore, moisture retaining Ectoin (1%), which protects the skin from moisture loss, panthenol and folic acid, which helps to keep the skin elastic and increase the moisture level.

As a pharmacist, Hartmut Beyer is very familiar with ingredients and active substances. But for the realization that neither aging can be stopped, nor that there is a miracle active ingredient against it, it did not need a pharmacy degree. However, his many years of professional experience confirmed his conviction that our skin has enormous potential to heal and repair itself. The healthier the skin, the greater this ability. Which led Beyer to the simple realization, "Healthy skin ages slower and looks more beautiful." So the secret of effective skin and anti-aging care is to support the skin in its complex regeneration process.
An important role in this is played by an adequate supply of moisture and antioxidants, so-called radical scavengers. The latter can neutralize free radicals and thus protect the skin from oxidative stress. This occurs when free radicals are increasingly formed, for example through air pollution or UV-A radiation. If these highly reactive substances are present in excessive quantities, they can attack and damage the body's own cells. Aging is thought to be the result of this damage. Antioxidants bind the free radicals and can thus reduce the formation of wrinkles.
Another factor in the aging process is the decreasing synthesis of collagen; after the age of 30, it decreases by about 1% per year. Collagen is a protein that gives our skin its structure. If the collagen structure becomes brittle, wrinkles appear. Vitamin C and A help here: they stimulate collagen production and ensure that a healthy collagen framework.

Our body can best process endogenous or skin-identical substances, it recognizes them as "its own kind", therefore does not attack them and rarely develops allergies to them. What could be more natural than to supply the skin first of all with its own basic building blocks and to combine these in a second step with selected active ingredients? Beyer therefore uses not only natural but also skin-identical active ingredients. In their composition and structure, they correspond to the skin's own basic building blocks, so that the skin cannot distinguish them from its own. Skin-identical active ingredients are therefore not only more effective, but also better tolerated. That is why Beyer has developed as a basis a cream of pure phosphatidylcholine, a natural main component of the body's cells, which can transport the active ingredients deep into the skin.

For the formulas are selected vitamins and highly dosed, pure active ingredients, which in combination with the basic building blocks each result in an easy-to-use, dermatologically useful product. The formulations contain the well-known antioxidants (so-called radical scavengers) vitamins A, C and E. Vitamin C also stimulates the formation of collagen and vitamin A stimulates skin renewal. Panthenol (provitamin B5), coenzyme Q10, folic acid, biotin, zinc, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and phospholipids are included. Furthermore, resveratrol (a molecule of grape seed oil), green tea, astaxanthin (an active ingredient from red algae) and tocotrienols (a form of vitamin E) as particularly effective antioxidants.
All products are free of colorants and fragrances, hormonally active substances as well as silicones and mineral oils. Production takes place at the headquarters of the family business, in which Hartmut Beyer's two sons also joined a few years ago.
