Sensibio Defensive

• Long-lastingly moisturizes the skin (hydration level +71%**) ⁽¹⁾
• Reinforces the skin against internal and external aggression (-29%*** TEWL(a)⁽²⁾, antioxidant properties ⁽³⁾)
• Immediately and long-lastingly soothes the skin (-16%** of cutaneous microcirculation after mechanical stress (4), -43%*** of intensity of stinging sensation (5), -50%*** of global unpleasant symptoms of skin sensitivity ⁽⁶⁾)
• Improves quality of life (-46%*** in apprehension to cope with urban pollution because of sensitive skin ⁽⁷⁾, -14.1%* BoSS score ^(b)(8))

Very high cutaneous tolerance – Fresh and light texture – Penetrates quickly.

Clinically tested on patients with dry sensitive skin.

(a) TEWL: Trans Epidermal Water Loss. The lower it is, the more water remains in the skin and therefore the barrier function of the skin is important.

> Clinical results

Sensibio Defensive significantly moisturizes the skin as quickly as 30 minutes after application (level of hydration + 110%**) and long-lastingly - 12h after application (level of hydration +71%**) (1)

Sensibio Defensive also limits oxidative stress ⁽²⁾ and induces a significant decrease in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) ^(a) by -29%*** ⁽³⁾ after 28 days of application, which results in reinforcement of skin barrier function protecting it against environmental stress.

Action on sensitive skin

• Immediately after use, it decreases the cutaneous temperature by -1.5°C in 3 minutes after application ⁽⁴⁾, significantly decreases the cutaneous microcirculation by 16%** after mechanical stress ⁽⁵⁾ and significantly decreases the intensity of stinging sensation by 43%*** after capsaicin application (6) which demonstratess an immediate refreshing and soothing efficacy.
• After 28 days of use, it significantly improves the cutaneous reactivity to capsaicin by +78%*** ⁽⁶⁾, redness scorage by -42%*** ⁽⁷⁾ and decreases global unpleasant symptoms of skin sensitivity by -50%*** ⁽⁸⁾ demonstrating a long-lasting soothing benefit.

After a thermal hot-cold stress and 28 days of application of Sensibio Defensive, the following effects were observed ⁽⁸⁾:

• A remarkable decrease of 21%* in global unpleasant symptoms of skin sensitivity suggesting it long-lastingly soothes the skin in presence of heat-cold aggressions
• A significant increase in hydration level of +24%***
• A notable protective effect of heat-cold aggressions with no significant variation of TEWL ^(a) in comparison with control condition, barrier function reacts better to stress with Sensibio Defensive.
• A considerable decrease in release of pro-inflammatory biomarkers at the epidermal level by heat-cold stress

Action on quality of life

After 28 days of use, Sensibio Defensive significantly improves quality of life by inducing a pronounced:

• Decrease in subjects’ apprehension to cope with urban pollution because of their sensitive skin of 46%*** ⁽⁷⁾
• Decrease in the average of BoSS score ^(b) of 14.1%* demonstrated a positive impact on skin sensitivity ⁽¹⁰⁾

Tolerance

Very good cutaneous tolerance in sensitive or reactive skins in presence of heat-cold stress or with redness related to pollution  ^(7,8,10,11)

> Patients feedbacks

Immediately after use, for more than 97% of subjects, skin feels comfortable and protected ⁽¹¹⁾

After 28 days of use, for more than 94% of subjects, skin is:

• less sensible, sensitized and reactive ⁽¹¹⁾
• more resistant ⁽¹¹⁾
• soothed ⁽¹¹⁾
• skin feels protected against external aggressions ⁽⁸⁾

Subjects feel also more self-confident, their quality of life is improved, and their skin’s sensitivity has less impact on daily life for 94% of subjects ⁽¹¹⁾

For more than 91% of subjects, the product penetrates quickly, is not noodling on the skin, can be used as a make-up base and its texture is light and pleasant ⁽¹¹⁾.
