Intensive Skin Repair for Extremely Dry Skin
The QV Intensive range is formulated for extremely dry and sensitive skin concerns. Navigate the path to healthier, hydrated skin with answers to our frequently asked questions.
How do the ingredients in QV Intensive combat extreme skin dryness?
QV Intensive skincare products for extremely dry skin contain a combination of ingredients specifically selected to intensely hydrate the skin barrier including:
- Glycerin - A humectant that actively draws water into your skin and helps retain it.
- Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil) - Is one of the most effective moisturisers known for the skin’s surface.
- Dimethicone - Forms a water repellent shield that helps to defend against environmental irritants.
- Petrolatum - Delivers short and long term rehydration and can help reduce water loss from the skin.
Each ingredient works together to not only help provide immediate relief from skin dryness but also support your skin's barrier function.
What makes QV Intensive products different from our QV Body range?
The QV Intensive range is specifically formulated with higher concentrations of moisturising elements such as emollients and humectants compared to our regular QV Body range. These specialised formulations are designed to relieve and soothe extremely dry, sensitive skin by delivering intense hydration.
What is the difference between QV Intensive Cream and QV Intensive Body Ointment?
QV Intensive Cream provides triple-moisturising action through a blend of various humectants, occludents, and emollient ingredients. Enriched with 10% glycerin, it delivers intense hydration to the skin. Clinical studies have confirmed its ability to offer 24-hour hydration, ensuring your skin remains supple and nourished throughout the day. In contrast, QV Intensive Body Ointment features a rich, balm-like texture that delivers high emollient benefits. Its water free formulation provides hydration without stinging when applied to extremely dry skin. Both products help maintain the skin's natural protective barrier by locking in moisture. They are preservative-free and free from common irritants, making them suitable for extremely dry, sensitive skin types.
How suitable is the QV Intensive range for different skin conditions?
The QV Intensive range is specifically designed for those with extremely dry or sensitive skin. Our QV Intensive Products are free from preservatives, fragrance, soap, colour, and lanolin, making them ideal for eczema-prone and sensitive skin types. Additionally, our moisturising wash and highly emollient ointment and cream are suitable for dry, itchy skin. As a highlight, our QV Intensive Body Ointment, provides high emollient benefits with a water-free formulation. This moisturiser provides hydration without stinging when applied to very dry or cracked skin.
Do QV Intensive products clog pores?
No, the entire QV Intensive range is non-comedogenic, meaning the products won't clog pores. This makes them suitable for those prone to acne or breakouts, while still providing intensive hydration for extremely dry skin.
