After invasive treatments or strong treatments such as chemical peels, laser, etc., the skin often experiences: weakened skin barrier, redness, peeling, and slowed self-regeneration.

At this point, Niacinamide, Panthenol, and EGF are often referred to as a "golden triangle" to help strengthen the skin barrier. However, although these three active ingredients share the same goal of recovery, their mechanisms of action are completely different. Therefore, if you misunderstand the active ingredients for each stage, it can prolong recovery or not achieve the desired results.

1. Strengthening the skin barrier with Niacinamide

1.1. Mechanism

Niacinamide restores skin by stimulating the synthesis of Ceramides and natural lipids, which play a role in protecting the skin from environmental aggressors, maintaining firmness and elasticity, and preventing transepidermal water loss.

1.2. Key benefits of Niacinamide for the skin

• Boosts skin's resistance, reduces irritation: With the above mechanism, promoting ceramide synthesis will help the skin regain smoothness, plumpness, and maintain a healthy barrier.

• Supports acne improvement: This active ingredient has anti-inflammatory properties, regulates oil on the skin, and prevents sebum blockage in pores.

• Improves pigmentation, evens skin tone: This is also the most popular and widely used benefit among consumers. By preventing the formation of melanin pigments, it reduces the formation of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and with long-term use, it will help brighten the skin.

1.3. Ideal time to use Niacinamide

Suitable when the skin has passed the redness phase after peels, lasers, and needs strengthening of the protective barrier and improvement of the skin surface.

2. Instant soothing and healing with Panthenol

2.1. Indirect recovery mechanism

This active ingredient helps soothe skin damage. It creates a favorable moist environment to stimulate the skin to heal itself through its natural mechanism.

2.2. Key benefits of Panthenol for the skin:

• Soothes redness and stinging on the skin: Known for its ability to quickly restore and soothe irritated skin, redness, or damage after dermatological procedures.

• Deeply moisturizes the skin: Panthenol also acts as a mechanism to retain and prevent water loss from the skin. Therefore, this active ingredient helps the skin soft, protects the skin from factors that cause dry sensitive skin, and maintains its natural barrier.

• Shortens recovery time for injuries: Panthenol is increasingly popular for its ability to enhance the recovery and regeneration of damaged skin. In addition, this active ingredient strengthens the epidermis, stratum corneum, and stimulates the process of regenerating skin cell structure. As a result, new skin cells are quickly produced and replace damaged cells.

2.3. Ideal time to use Panthenol

Use immediately when the skin is irritated, red, peeling, or after dermatological procedures that require soothing.

3. Skin regeneration at the cellular level with EGF

3.1. How does EGF work?

EGF is an endogenous signaling protein in the body that can stimulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival primarily through the epidermal growth factor receptor.

3.2. Key benefits of EGF for the skin

• Improves skin structure, anti-aging: EGF stimulates collagen and elastin to improve skin texture and elasticity. This helps the skin become smoother, firmer, and reduces signs of aging.

• Repairs damaged skin: By accelerating cell regeneration and quickly healing wounds, it is effective for scar healing and skin recovery after invasive treatments.

• Rebuilds healthy skin from within: This active ingredient helps strengthen the connection between the epidermis and dermis. As a result, nutrient penetration between skin layers becomes easier, helping the skin maintain stability and prevent thin, weak skin and visible blood vessels after excessive treatments.
