Corium 21 contains a variety of substances known as emollients. An emollient is considered to be anything that softens or soothes. Glycerin, for example, is a popular and effective emollient. It is the second ingredient in Corium 21. Emollients work by putting a layer of oil over the skin, by lubricating the skin, and by increasing the ability of the skin to retain water. As a person ages, the skin loses the ability to retain water, resulting in aged skin. Surface oils are removed by bathing, leaving the skin dryer than before. It is commonly agreed by dermatologists that emollients are needed to maintain the skin's moisture and to keep the skin smooth and pliable. Skin conditions, such as psoriasis, benefit greatly from emollients for this reason. It should be noted that an emollient is an ingredient commonly used in moisturizers. Aloe vera used with an emollient or emollients gives tremendous benefit to the skin. Corium 21 is the perfect answer to dry skin. |
