Comedones

Recommendation

The body should only be washed with HYPOGEN CARE Shower Foam. The Shower Foam is so mild and has such a low proportion of surfactants (detergents) that it cleanses as gently as possible. At the same time, it has a keratolytic effect and is therefore anti-comedogenic. After washing, the cleansed skin areas should be rinsed thoroughly.

Now apply a thin and gentle layer of HYPOGEN CARE Wound Care Fluid locally to the areas of the skin most affected by comedones and allow to absorb. Acutely inflamed areas should also be treated with HYPOGEN CARE Wound Care Lotion: apply gently and allow to dry.

After the comedones have subsided, i.e. when no more comedones are visible, the skin (body and facial skin) should be treated with HYPOGEN CARE LLS Care Cream - proceed gently on the affected areas.

Basic care with Shower Foam and LLS Care Cream significantly reduces the skin's susceptibility to comedones.

For facial care in particular, the use of HYPOGEN CARE Facial Cleanser in combination with HYPOGEN CARE Make-up Remover Oil (if required) is recommended. This replaces Shower Foam in the treatment procedure described above. HYPOGEN CARE Facial Cleanser also has a keratolytic effect and is therefore also anti-comedogenic.

Important: The use of oils for care should otherwise be avoided for skin prone to comedogens.

The effect is dermatologically confirmed: In general, good skin care according to this recommendation can be expected to significantly relieve comedogenic skin in more than 95% of cases.
