2 Dry, irritated and reactive skin a question of balance Changes in the lipid barrier (1) Neurological origin (1) Immunological origin (1) Changes in the effectiveness of the cutaneous lipid barrier Increased permeability of the stratum corneum Moisture loss 1 Abnormal penetration of potentially irritating substances 2 Central nervous system dysfunction Release of neurotransmitters and inflammatory cytokines Accentuated nervous response Suggested link between atopy and sensitive skin (1) Atopy higher in subjects with sensitive skin (1) Contact allergy and skin sensitivity share similar cytokine inductions (1) Intact Lipid Barrier versus Disrupted Lipid Barrier (2) 2 1 Dry and sensitive skin Cutaneous tolerance threshold decreased (1,2) Dry, irritated and reactive skin Abnormalities or disruptions in the lipid barrier can lead to greater transepidermal water loss (3).

4 Physiogel DMS * innovative technology suitable for sensitive skin Unique formulation Clinically tested Lipid film** Structured in layers QNo penetration into deeper skin layers (2) Mimic the stratum corneum Physiogel Physiogel + emulsifier Penetration into the stratum corneum only Penetration into the deeper skin layers Microscopy view (1) Gentle on the epidermis Helps repair the lipid barrier Helps maintain hydration of the skin Structure of the stratum corneum of the skin Physiogel Conventional vesicular structure of an emulsifier Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic * DMS : Derma Membrane Structure ** Vegetable-based lipids: ceramides, hydrogenated lecithin (phospholipid), squalane, triglyceride, sterol Integration and penetration of the cutaneous barrier by Physiogel with and without an emulsifier evaluated by microscopy after a 300 min incubation phase. Human skin samples were used for this study (2). (1) Llorca MA, et al.
