The skin on the body, characterised by a near absence of sebaceous glands, has a deficiency in its surface film and is thus more exposed to harmful environmental effects.

Firstly, the skin becomes dry, lamellar lipids become jumbled, water loss increases and the skin starts to dehydrate. It forms fine cracks and the skin feels tight.

Lipidiose 1 is an innovation from Vichy Laboratories, containing water fixing agents (Urea + lactate A) allowing water to be retained and reducing the disorganisation of lipid lamellar structure for improved skin cohesion.

Rehydrated, the skin is smooth again. It is soothed and no longer feels tight.
