Biological Skin Cream Prevents Dryness and Restores Healthy Skin Moisture (True Hydration)
What causes dry skin and what ingredients in skin moisturizers do work?
Dry skin is caused by two factors: (I) One is the damage to the skin's protective barrier and thus excessive water loss through the skin, and (II) A reduction in the concentration of the skin's water-holding sugar and protein molecules, the complex proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) or carbohydrate molecular chains.
The major organic (i.e. carbon-containing) components of human cells are proteins, lipids, various carbohydrates and carbohydrate-containing molecules, and the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The carbohydrate-containing molecules can be quite complex polysaccharides; those in which carbohydrates are attached to proteins or lipids are called glycoconjugates. There are three major classes of glycoconjugates: glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and glycolipids.
Glyco means "sweet" and refers to monosaccharides, polysaccharides or sugars. The role of carbohydrates (sugars) in energy production has been long understood. However, their additional, crucial role in orchestrating the healthy structure and function of the body is a relatively new discovery that is the subject of a new bourgeoning field of science called the “sweet science of glycobiology”.
The polysaccharide content of the skin is responsible for skin hydration and water binding within the skin as well as for skin repair and skin renewal.
Many skin moisturizers and emollient products sold by cosmetic and skin care companies delay the healing of irritated and damaged skin and make the situation worse by inhibiting natural skin repair and increasing skin damage in ways similar to skin irritants. Occluding creams or moisturizing creams and dry skin products such as those containing petrolatum and lanolin to block water loss do not make things better either.
How to Treat Excessive Dry Skin?
What helps is to protect the skin surface and to help the skin heal from within, by providing at the site of lesions or skin damage ingredients that help the skin repair itself thoroughly.
Most if not all the popular moisturizers and emollients currently sold by the major skin care brands contain high concentrations of detergents and detergent-like chemicals that have the effect of stripping the skin of its natural lipids, despite many years of sound evidence that such detergents degrade the skin's natural protective function and damage the skin. Also, many of the dyes and optical diffusers used to give the appearance of healthy skin are damaging to the skin.
Lipids and fats in the skin provide the epidermal barrier to transcutaneous water loss. These lipids in the upper skin area called the stratum corneum are arranged in layers called lamellae. The lower skin layers contain more typical fats such as triglycerides and phospholipids while the upper layers have more ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids.
Waxes and oils placed on the skin seal the skin's surface and prevent excess water loss. Cosmetic moisturizers loosen the skin's protective barrier and hydrate (wet) the skin proteins but have the long-term effect of damaging the skin.

Skin-care products are only as good as what they contain and how their ingredients help your skin function better. In fact, moisturizers (or any skin-care product claiming to have an effect on SKIN REPAIR, wrinkles or sagging skin) should absolutely contain a mix of antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, and intercellular substances as those are the ingredients that help skin keep a normal level of hydration, build collagen and prevent cellular damage.
Not the popular dry skin creams that have been in the market since the 1920's, when the cosmetic industry begun to promote oil/water/detergent creams for moisturizing instead of the vegetable oils that had been used for thousands of years. This was similar to the fallacious campaigns, we may all remember, that aimed to stop women from breast feeding their babies and promoted their replacement with synthetic infant formulas sold for profit.
So next time you see a list of ingredients, think twice, and prefer products with biological skin care ingredients and not those with a list like this one: Water, Mineral Oil, Isopropyl Palmitate, Petrolatum, Stearic Acid, Ceresin, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Candelilla Wax, Sorbitan Oleate, Triethanolamine, Laureth-23, Carbomer, Trisodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin.
Those are some of the ingredients in Pond's Dry Skin Cream. Not an exception though, for companies such as Lancome, Mary Kay, Oil of Olay, Clinique, Este Lauder, Glycel and NU Skin, to mention just a few, include mineral oil and chemical thickners, emulsifiers and detergents in their formulations.

Examples of biological dry skin treatment ingredients are: rose hip oil, squalene and other olive oil derivatives; proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid a glycosaminoglycan present in the intercellular matrix of skin where it has a protective, structure stabilizing and shock-absorbing role and plays an important role in tissue hydration, lubrication and cellular function, and is able to hold more water than any other natural substance.
Proteoglycans and Glycosaminoglycans are active regulators of cell function, participate in cell-matrix interactions and play an important biological role in fibroblasts proliferation, differentiation and migration by effectively modulating the cellular phenotype.
Proteoglycans (PGs) are complex macromolecules consisting of a core protein and one or more covalently attached glycosaminoglycan chain. The biological functions of proteoglycans results primarily from the structurally dominant glycosaminoglycans emanating from the protein core of the molecule.
Glycosaminoglycans modulate the activity of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling which is crucial in a wide range of important biological activities with differential effects in various cell types. They affect FGF signaling by interacting with both the growth factor and the FGF receptor.
These two types of molecules (GAGs and PGs) are vital intercellular substances that are always present in our skin in abundant quantity when it is in a healthy state. These substances may be present also in skin care products that aim to restore the capacity of the skin to hold in water (e.g. hyaluronic acid, glycoconjugates, polysaccarides) and they are quite effective natural moisturizers but they only become the best facial quencher for thirsty skin when their production within the skin matrix is triggered by those or other appropiate cosmetic ingredients.
GAGs are usually found in the extracellular matrix of vertebrate and invertebrate tissues. A large number of animal species contain GAGs and mollusks are a particularly rich source of these polysaccharides. A structural investigation revealed that GAGs in invertebrate species often contain unusual variations of sulfate distribution and uronic acids and play important biological functions as promoters of the proliferation of those same molecules in the skin matrix. More GAGs in the skin means a moisture-rich state, with much better moisture retention, tighter skin and strengthenning of fragile and flay skin.
Also as we age, we experience a reduction of the polysaccharide content of the dermis that is responsible for hydration of the skin... a reduction of the water-binding capacity of the skin. This may lead to the appearacne of premature lines and wrinkles that are otherwise concealed by healthy, "plump" skin.
Fibroblast Growth Factors are polypeptides (proteins) that bind to receptors on the cell surface, with the primary result of activating cellular proliferation and/or differentiation. Many growth factors are quite versatile, stimulating cellular division in numerous different cell types; while others are specific to a particular cell-type. There are at least 21 distinct members of the FGF family of growth factors.
Fibroblast growth factors act specifically on various types of epithelial cells including keratinocytes of the skin, intestinal epithelial cells and hepatocytes. In addition, some types of Fibroblast Growth Factor have been shown to be more than growth factors: they can protect epithelial cells from damaging effects induced, for example, by radiation and oxidative stress.
The main function of fibroblasts is to maintain the structural integrity of connective tissue by continuously secreting precursors of the extracellular matrix. Fibroblasts and the glycoconjugates mentioned are critical in wound healing as such dynamic process is interactive and depends on proper regulation of fibroblasts, the cells in the basal layer of the skin that give rise to all the structural elements in a healthy skin matrix (also known as the extracellular matrix).
These structural elements comprise collagen and elastin connective tissues and glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. Without proper regulation of fibroblast activity excessive scarring results and is a feature of impaired healing (keloid and hypertrophic scars, specially in people with highly pigmented skin), a serious health problem that most of the time affects people's quality of life for the treatment cost of such lesions is high, and often, the results are unsatisfactory.
Also as we age, the total collagen content of skin and elastin fiber content decreases, leading to a potential decrease in skin firmness. The stimulation of collagen production is necessary in aged individuals in order to maintain firm and healthy skin.
Tissue damage stimulates fibrocytes and induces migration and readily proliferation of fibroblasts in multiple stages of tissue repair including wound contraction. Fibroblasts can give rise to other cells, such as bone cells, fat cells, and smooth muscle cells. All those are cells of mesodermal origin, which means a layer from which the organs and tissues of the body develop through further differentiation.
Dry Skin Treatment - How to Heal Dry Skin Without Breaking Out - Skin Firming Cream
BIOSKINCARE CREAM is a natural skin care cream that restores skin moisture and skin firmness and keeps skin hydrated. It is made with secretions from snails of the species Helix Aspersa Müller which include Proteoglycans and Glycosaminoglycans as well as enzymes and other components that show Fibroblast Growth Factor activity that triggers the proliferation of those same water holding substances, new skin cells and new collagen and elastin connective tissues.
The secretion is the same these little creatures use to protect and repair the collagen and elastin in their skin when damaged. A substance packed with glycoconjugates that enhance the skin's ability to produce collagen, elastin, glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans and always keep skin moisturized.
These molecules are always present in the dermis and have a large water holding capacity -true moisturizing- and thus provide support and skin strength, helping skin retain moisture and elasticity and able to preserve skin's integrity and withstand stretching, tension and compression forces without tearing. They also helps to firm the skin and avoid sagging and wrinkles.
Elastin, the structural protein which allows our skin to stretch, also deteriorates as we age, primarily due to the long term effect of inflammation. Inflammatory responses cause the release of degradative enzymes including Human Leucocyte Elastace (HLE). This enzyme not only destroys the elastin content of the dermis, it can be responsible for the degradation of other valued components as well. Loss of elastin may lead to sagging of the skin. Enzymes in BIOSKINCARE's ingredients have the ability to effectively inhibit (HLE).
BIOSKINCARE is also antimicrobial and recommended to control acne, avoid breakouts and heal skin dryness due to Accutane (drug used to impair the sebum glands and thus reduce sebum output) or radiodermatitis (such as it affects people going through radiotherapy for cancer).

The Problem With Dry Skin
Excessively dry skin can put a great dampener on the overall appearance of the person. Dry skin lacks the glow and the sheen of normal skin. It can become easily scratched and cracked, due to which there could be bruises on the skin even with slight frictions. Dry skin also loses its natural color. For all these reasons, it is very necessary to get dry skin treated as soon as possible.
Preventing Dry Skin - Keeping Skin Protected and Moisturized
Dry skin is generally caused due to environmental conditions. It is observed in cold weather, when the climate is too dry and cool. Since the climate is dry, it absorbs the water content of the skin, and dries the skin.
Dry environments with air conditioing can even turn skin very dry and cracked or cause excessively dry skin to the point of cracking skin tissues, so it is important to prevent dryness and do what is necessary to help the skin retain natural moisture or restore a normal moisture level by humidifying your environment – purchasing a room humidifier will help towards maintaining acceptable humidity levels.
Home Medications for Effective Moisturizing
a. In order to reduce the dryness of the skin, massage therapy can be useful. Any herbal oil will do for the massage. Rosehip, almond, avocado and olive oils are the best. The whole skin must be massaged and fingers must be used to dig deeper so as to pass the oil into the skin. After the massage, you must wait for about half an hour (keep the massaged skin exposed to the air if possible) and then go for a bath. The waiting period helps the oil to permeate into the skin.
b. If the dryness is on the face, then make a paste of about a teaspoonful of rose water and two of honey. Smear this paste nicely on the face. Let it remain for a couple of minutes and then wash it off with slightly warm water.
c. Mayonnaise gives good results when applied on the dry skin and let be for some time.
d. An apple can be used for treating excessive dryness of the skin. Cut an apple in half and run its fleshy part on the skin. Apply a bit of pressure and squeeze the apple onto the skin to let its juices flow in.
e. Do not use tap water for washing the face. Tap water contains chloride ions which may harm the dry skin. Use mineral water instead. In a similar manner, do not use an ordinary soap on the skin. There are soaps available with moisturizers. Use them when having your bath.
Maintain a proper daily regimen. Try to get up at a fixed time each morning and go to bed at a fixed time. The adage 'Early to bed and early to rise makes a person healthy, wealth and wise' is very true in the case of dry skin.
Regular exercise is also important. Exercise makes the blood circulate better, due to which the nutrients are transported to all parts of the body. This will make the skin moister.

BIOCUTIS Skin Treatment Products
Life is inseparably connected with water, because water is the origin of all life. It is the initial, intermediate and final product of countless reactions in the living organism. Water serves as a solvent, a means of transportation, a means of colling and of storing heat in our largest human organ – the skin!
Beautiful and healthy skin is dependent on a good reliable supply of water. Dry skin is often the sign of a lack of vitally important nutrients and active agents. Dry skin lacks lustre and quickly leads to small, visible lines. Fluid from inside and supplementary body care from outside can protect, care for and maintain the skin.
With increasing age, the elasticity of the skin diminishes and body care becomes even more important. The skin becomes thinner and less resistant. The whole regeneration process runs more slowly and deficits become visible. Therefore the skin is reliant on a complete and sophisticated supply of trace elements, mineral salts and sufficient moisture and moisture-retaining substances.
In order to cope with this situation a little creature that merries around with its skin exposed nude under the sun, very much like us humans do with our face and neck and other parts of our body, has created the most complete active "solution" that extensively moisturises the skin, protects it from free radicals, repairs the skin whenever damaged, triggers its healthy renewal, and when applied to human skin does the same for it, enabeling it to show up, become and remain healthy, soft and smooth.
BIOSKINCARE™
Biological Skin Moisturizing. A new biological skin moisturizing cream that embodies (a) natural enzymes that dissolve damaged tissues and dying and dead cells; (b) skin renewal activators that speed keratinocyte turnover, promote the proliferation of fibroblasts that give rise to new collagen, elastin and the proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans thereby hastening the resolution of skin damage and averting inflamm-aging or chronic inflammation caused by accumulated sun damage, and (c) antimicrobial peptides that keep growing bacteria on check and help resolve mild and moderate skin infections. 50 gram jar = $59.98 and for two or more 20% discount.
BIO STRETCH MARK CREAM™
To prevent pregnancy stretch marks, strengthen fragile skin, firm sagging breasts and body areas and reduce cellulite. It also works for newly formed stretch marks and scars, while BIOSKINEXFOL works best for old, rough and raised marks. This is similar to the cream in BIOSKINCARE, in a more economical container, with 6 oz. but for use only on the body, not on the face, because it contains a higher concentration of our natural biological complex which results in an invisible film that retains in moisture by occluding the area where it is applied but may feel a little tacky on the face. 6 oz (180g) tottle = $119.00
BIO SKIN REJUVENATION™
Same cream base and enzymes as in BIOSKINCARE to "digest" or dissolve blemishes, speed skin turnover and tighten skin, and an added ingredient: human growth factor peptide, derived from the melanocyte-stimulating-hormone. Blocks melanin synthesis, and reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation, allowing control over skin tone and brown spots. Leaves skin bright and refreshed! 50 gram jar = $69.98.
BIOSKINCLEAR™
Oil free moisturizing gel for acne, rosacea and facial scars. The product is based on a natural substance secreted by a little animal to function as its powerful immune modulator and skin regeneration trigger. Removes dead cells, unclogs sebum canals and dissolves scar tissues by enzymatic hydrolysis, without peeling. Promotes the proliferation of antimicrobials that control acne bacteria. Boosts reproduction of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that retain water, thus truly moisturizing the skin from within. Tells the body it is being taken care off and can moderate an otherwise extreme inflammatory reaction that may end up destroying healthy skin cells together with bacteria and sebum that has turned into a foreign matter. 50 gram (1.76 oz) airless pump bottle $49 and 20% off for two or more.
BIOSKINEXFOL™
A home microdermabrasion cream with the same high quality micro-crystals professionals use to breakdown hard, rough and old scar tissues, and allow for a deeper penetration of our exclusive all natural skin moisturizing and regeneration complex contained in the microdermarasion cream.120 gram (4 oz) jar = $79
This is my second order. I was so happy to had found a moisturizing lotion & healing product that truly works. I had a couple bad acne spots on my cheeks and chin that would never clear up. I started using this cream and within a few days I noticed the acne was not coming back. I have been using this cream for at least a month now and I will say my cheeks have never looked this good in about 1 yr. The dark sports are quite a bit lighter also. No more red spots either on my chin. This truly is a terrific product. I have tried everything to clear up these problem spots. Now all I do is use an antibacterial soap to clean my face and then apply the cream. I have never experienced any dryness or peeling either from this amazing cream. THANK YOU!!!! Lisa Olivardia. Orlando, FL
I love this cream. I had acne breakouts on my face and chest and the cream cleared it up. I also have always had dry chapped lips and I use this on them also (for moisturizing twice daily) and it has helped. Kathy Short. Mississippi, USA
Skin Care Moisturizer and First Aid Treatment
I absolutely love this cream. The feel of it going on and of the skin after is delightful. We have used it on burns, scars, and rashes. It is a must in our house from now on as a skin moisturizer and first aid treatment. Nothing else compares to it, no matter how high-end or expensive. I LOVE IT. Thank you. C. Ballard. Maryland, USA
I love this cream. I initially ordered it for use to repair stretch marks. I was having some skin problems, so I started using it as face cream. It clears up my skin and moisturizes with out leaving it oily. Texas, USA
All Natural Moisturizer & Skin Repair Product
Love this stuff, great for scar repair and as a general moisturizer!!! Pam Corbishley. GA, USA
I have been using BIOSKINCARE on a surgical scar (liver transplant) for the past year. It's a slow process, but I am seeing great results. I have even started using it as a moisturizer. I love it! Karen Slowiak, Wi, USA
I like this cream; seems to be reducing the scarring and smoothing the skin out. Skin seems to be plumper and more even in tone. It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin moist but not greasy. This is my second order of 2 jars. Nancy Pickering.
I can't believe how well your product works. When I ordered for the first time for acne scars I was skeptical about any results. Let me say that this is my 5th order. I have never ordered anything that has worked as well as the BIOSKINCARE cream. I had major acne scars and discoloration on my back. My back is almost at 90% recovery in 7 months of use. I estimate that 4 more jars should do the trick. My friend also tried a jar and now is ordering his own. Thank you very much. Kindest Regards, Ash Hassab. Illinois, USA
Your product works. The product is all in one. I used to buy products for acne, scars, wrinkles, moisturizer, stretch marks, and ingrown hairs which does not work as well as your product, but not anymore. All I need now is one product thanks to you. Sandra Barros. Opa Locka, Florida, USA
This product is great. I never had pimples all my life but upon my 30th birthday I started to break out. I tried ever thing I could put my hands on but nothing worked. I even went to the Dermatologist but it was useless. I came across this product by accident on the internet. I ordered it and after two weeks I saw the difference. I threw every other acne medication in the garbage. I have been using BIOSKINCARE for three months now and I do not break out anymore. My face is clear and smooth. All dark spots have faded. I will be using this product for the rest of my life. I am placing my order to two Jars now. This product is my life saver. I could go on and on. Thanks to the makers of this product. I am one confident woman. Susan Ambrose. New York.
I love your product. It really improved my skin by drastic measures when I used it with Accutane. I continued to use BIOSKINCARE after my treatment and have had nothing but compliments on how beautiful my skin is! I am now going to conquer my stretchmarks. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. Cindy M. Coquitlam, Canada.
I have been using BIOSKINCARE for about 3 weeks and have seen a dramatic change in the appearance of my skin. I use it mainly for old acne scars. I have had acne since I was twelve and used AccutaneŽ which helped but the acne scars have been there for twenty years. Until now, I have found a miracle cream that reduces the pock marks, pitts, ice pick scars, and evens my skin tone. I know the process maybe slow for older scars but what can you expect from a product made from snails. Ha!ha! I will continue to use BIOSKINCARE as my skin gets better everyday. Patrick Chua. CA, USA
I bought a jar of this for my son a few months ago, and I am pleased with the results. For a year we have tried antibiotics and many topical drugs with no lasting results. I did not want him to take Accutane. Thank you for producing this. It has been the only thing I have ordered by internet which has worked. Judy Flaherty. PA, USA.
I have now finished my first jar of BIOSKINCARE. I use it twice a day after using a loofa sponge. It has definitely decreased acne scars and wrinkles on my face. A keloid scar I have on my chest is lighter and softer. Diana Lowe Engle. CA, USA.
I have used this product and it is great for the lines above the lip. The lines have disappeared. And it is great for the wrinkles under and around the eyes. Patricia Ciccone. PA, USA
