Description
oh!oh! Xylica Micellar Cleansing Water is a micellar cleansing water from the oh!oh! brand that perfectly balances pH while ensuring clean, smooth, and fresh skin. The product formula contains 1% Cica complex (Centella Asiatica extract + Pentacyclic Triterpenoid Saponins) to stimulate recovery, antioxidant effects, reduce inflammation, and minimize irritation, thereby promoting healthier skin.
In addition, the ingredient list includes the AQUAXYL complex, which consists of a trio of active ingredients: Xylitol, Anhydroxylitol, and Xylityl-glucose. These ingredients help increase endogenous glycosaminoglycans and collagen production, ensuring moisture balance and reducing trans-epidermal water loss, thereby strengthening the epidermal barrier function.
The product is suitable for all skin types.
KEY INGREDIENTS AND BENEFITS
1. Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract
This ingredient is rich in naturally active biological compounds such as triterpenoid saponins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, triterpenic steroids, amino acids, and sugars, making it widely used in skincare products today.
Centella Asiatica extract is known for its many beneficial properties for the skin:
- Antibacterial: Centella Asiatica extract contains four main active compounds: Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, and Madecassoside. This group of compounds has significant biological activity, helping to fight bacteria and inhibit P. acnes, which causes acne.
- Antioxidant: The flavonoids in Centella Asiatica extract can neutralize harmful free radicals, protecting the skin from damage, especially from UV exposure from sunlight.
- Moisturizing: The components in this plant help stimulate the production of GAGs (natural moisturizing factors in the skin) and Collagen, providing effective hydration and improving the natural protective barrier of the skin, thus reducing trans-epidermal water loss.
- Anti-inflammatory, aids in acne treatment: The triterpenoid saponins in the extract provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, reducing swelling of acne lesions and promoting wound healing. The anti-inflammatory effectiveness of the extract has been demonstrated in many clinical studies.
2. AQUAXYL Complex
The AQUAXYL™ complex consists of three natural sugar-derived ingredients: Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, and Xylitol. Specifically:
- Xylitylglucoside: Provides hydration while retaining moisture and maintaining a long-lasting "hydrated" skin state.
- Anhydroxylitol: Locks in moisture, building a protective "barrier" for the skin against environmental aggressors.
- Xylitol: Reduces trans-epidermal water loss, improving epidermal thickness.
In vitro and ex vivo experiments have shown that the AQUAXYL™ complex provides "hydrated" skin from morning to night:
- The complex can enhance hydration, increasing the amount of water-binding substances (Hyaluronic Acid and natural moisturizing factors GAGs), ensuring water balance for the skin.
- Supports the production of endogenous Glycosaminoglycans and Collagen, strengthening the skin's protective "barrier," reducing trans-epidermal water loss, and keeping the skin "hydrated" for 24 hours.
- Skin becomes softer and smoother after 4 weeks of using the AQUAXYL™ complex.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
- Use twice daily, in the morning and evening.
- Dispense micellar water onto a cotton pad and gently wipe over the face, neck, and décolletage. No need to rinse with water.
Note: Effects may vary depending on the user's individual skin condition.
