What is DermaMedics’ Intensive Relief?

Intensive Relief has been specifically formulated to re-hydrate the skin and to replenish lost oils needed to aid in skin repair. This lotion also contains a high (extra strength) concentration of Therosol®, a proprietary and patent-pending ingredient with known antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. Therosol® has been shown in clinical studies to calm and soothe skin and to also reduce the appearance of redness caused by a variety of skin disorders, including rosacea, eczema and other forms of dermatitis. Therosol® has also been clinically proven to improve skin dryness and texture over a four week period. In laboratory research studies on cultured human skin and immune cells, Therosol® has been shown to block the production of inflammatory hormones that cause vasodilation, irritation and skin damage, including the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the dermis.

 

What is Intensive Relief used for?

This moisturizing lotion is used to hydrate as well as help calm and improve the appearance of skin. It also provides the correct moisturizing environment the skin’s barrier needs to repair itself. It is gentle enough to use on delicate rosacea- and eczema-prone skin without causing irritation. Intensive Relief’s soothing effects are particularly useful on sunburned and eczema-damaged skin.

 

How do I use Intensive Relief?

After cleansing skin with DermaMedics’ Foaming Facial Cleanser, apply Intensive Relief evenly and liberally to all affected areas of the skin. Because Intensive Relief has an “Extra Strength” amount of Therosol®, you may experience mild tingling or warmth when first applied. This will subside in a minute or two. Because of its calming and moisturizing properties, Intensive Relief can be applied as frequently as necessary to affected skin. For best results, it should be used at least twice a day. If using in combination with any other product, allow the first product to fully absorb before applying the other. As with any product, if irritation develops discontinue use.

 

Are there any concerns regarding the use of Intensive Relief?

No Sunscreen

Intensive Relief does not contain any sunscreen. Because of this, if the product is going to be applied in the morning to sun exposed areas, it is recommended that a lightly moisturizing lotion with an SPF of 15 or higher be applied to these areas after Intensive Relief has completely absorbed into the skin.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

This naturally occurring triglyceride is prepared from coconut oil as well as from other plants. It is widely used in skin care products because it leaves a soft, non-greasy feel on the skin, improves spreading of creams & lotions, and is an excellent vehicle & solvent for active ingredients

Niacinamide

Also known as Vitamin B3, niacinamide helps to promote exfoliation. It also helps strengthen the skin’s barrier to prevent water loss.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Also known as Vitamin E acetate, tocopheryl acetate is an excellent antioxidant and helps protect the skin by neutralizing free radicals.

Glycerin

This excellent humectant absorbs and retains moisture in the skin. It is extremely mild when applied topically, and can be used at high concentrations.

Therosol®

Therosol® is a proprietary and patent-pending botanically derived ingredient discovered by DermaMedics’ scientists. Laboratory research studies on cultured human skin cells have shown that Therosol® can block the production of inflammatory hormones in a variety of skin and immune cells that cause vasodilation, irritation and skin damage.
