Understanding Skin
The skin is the largest organ of humans – protective shield, regulator and mirror of our lives. Its needs are as individual as each person and change over time. We share knowledge about how these needs manifest – and how holistic care helps, its natural balance to maintain.
Efficacy & Skin Health
Our active skincare stands for more than visible results. Each formula is designed to support specific skin needs – from hydration to strengthening the skin barrier. This creates care that delivers noticeable results and helps maintain long-term skin health.
Skin Health & Quality of Life
Healthy skin is a part of quality of life. Those who understand skin problems and accept, live more at ease. With sound knowledge and effective care we help to bring skin and everyday life into balance.
- Why Dry Skin Needs More Than Just Oil
Dry skin often feels rough, brittle, or even flaky. Many then reach for especially rich, oily creams – but that alone is rarely enough. Dry skin is often about more than a lack of lipids. The skin’s moisture balance may also be disrupted, or the skin barrier weakened. In this case, the skin loses water faster than it can retain it and reacts more sensitively to external factors.
To regain balance, the skin needs not only oils and lipids but also hydrating actives such as glycerin or hyaluronic acid. These bind moisture and help preserve it over time. At the same time, ceramide-rich or linoleic-acid-based products strengthen the natural protective layer. This makes the skin more resilient, less irritated, and sustainably softer to the touch.
It is also important to use gentle cleansers that do not strip the hydrolipid film. A regular, mild care routine is key so the skin can calm down – and fulfill its job: to protect.
- Strengthening the Skin Barrier – What That Actually Means
The skin barrier is like a protective shield: it protects your skin from harmful influences and keeps moisture where it belongs. Yet many people don’t realize they often cause this barrier to suffer themselves — through harsh cleansing, frequent exfoliation, or unsuitable products.
If the skin barrier is weakened, the skin quickly feels dry, rough, or even sore. It becomes more prone to irritation, redness, and inflammation. The good news: you can actively do something to rebuild your skin barrier.
Hydrating and lipid-rich care help close the gaps in the protective mantle. Actives such as ceramides or linoleic acid are particularly valuable here. A gentle cleanse without drying surfactants also supports your skin in finding its balance.
This way it remains resilient — and day by day you’ll feel how it calms down and feels smoother.
- Linoleic Acid – The Underrated Skin Strengthener
Linoleic acid is one of the essential omega-6 fatty acids and a natural component of skin lipids. If it is lacking, the skin becomes rough and more prone to irritation.
Skincare products with linoleic acid help repair and stabilize the skin barrier in a targeted way. The result: a smoother, more supple skin feel with less redness and tightness.
Moreover, linoleic acid supports regeneration and has anti-inflammatory effects — a major advantage for sensitive or blemish-prone skin.
In Creaderm products, linoleic acid is deliberately used where the skin needs it most. This allows it to optimally fulfill its protective function — and contribute to greater well-being.
- Myth Check – Do Oils Really Clog Pores?
Oils often have a bad reputation. “They clog pores” — this preconception persists. But it’s not that simple.
Whether an oil is comedogenic depends on its molecular structure and properties. Light oils like jojoba oil resemble the skin’s own sebum, absorb quickly, and don’t burden the pores. Heavier oils, by contrast, can be problematic for blemish-prone skin.
Selected and combined correctly, oils can even clarify, soothe, and strengthen the skin’s barrier.
In Creaderm formulations this balance is carefully observed — so the skin gets exactly the oils that benefit it. In this way, a supposed risk becomes a valuable component of skincare.
- How Stress Affects the Skin – And What Helps
Stress affects not only the mind; it often shows on the skin. Redness, itching, or breakouts are common consequences.
The culprits are stress hormones such as cortisol, which can make the skin more permeable, disrupt its moisture balance, and intensify inflammatory processes. In atopic dermatitis or acne, symptoms often worsen noticeably.
Chronic stress also inhibits skin regeneration. That’s why it’s important to deliberately build in periods of rest. Small rituals, such as gentle skincare routines, work in two ways: they calm the skin while promoting inner balance.
This strengthens the skin from the inside and the outside — helping it regain its balance.
- Why Beautiful Skin Is No Coincidence
It is often assumed that beautiful skin is purely a matter of predisposition. Genes do play a role, but just as important are the right skincare and a mindful lifestyle.
A balanced routine tailored to individual skin needs makes the decisive difference. It provides the skin with everything it needs, strengthens its protective mechanisms, and supports natural regeneration.
Less is often more — the main thing is that the products suit the skin condition and are used consistently. Factors such as diet, sleep, and stress management are also reflected in the complexion.
Beautiful skin is therefore rarely a coincidence — it is the result of understanding, care, and consistent skincare.
- Atopic Dermatitis – When the Skin Becomes Imbalanced
Atopic dermatitis is more than dry or sensitive skin — it is the result of a persistently impaired barrier function. As a result, the skin loses protection, reacts with irritation, and is particularly prone to itching and inflammation.
A targeted skincare routine can significantly alleviate symptoms. Humectants such as glycerin or urea help prevent dryness, while lipids such as ceramides and linoleic acid specifically strengthen the barrier.
Gentle, irritant-free formulations are crucial. With consistent care, the skin can become calmer, regain its resilience, and noticeably improve well-being.
