Tangible results are at the heart of every BABOR formula. With a potent complex of 3.5% multimolecular hyaluronic acids, polyglutamic acid, and tripeptide, DOCTOR BABOR HYDRATION Hydro Replenishing Gel Cream, the even more powerful successor to the Hyaluron Cream moisture booster, boosts the skin’s moisture and optimizes the distribution of moisture within the cells.
100% vegan and free of silicones, parabens, mineral oils, PEGs, microplastics, and other unnecessary ingredients, the Hydro Replenishing Gel Cream was developed and perfected by BABOR experts in the company’s laboratories in Aachen, Germany, based on BABOR’s ambitious “clean” formula policies. Made in Germany is a seal of quality that stands for this product and the entire company.
The light, cooling texture combines effectiveness with well-being for dry, moisture-deficient skin and leaves the skin feeling nourished and well hydrated. The delicate unisex fragrance composition of bergamot, lemon, and orange obtained through cold pressing, together with a subtle note of geranium, blossoms during application, providing a unique, pleasantly refreshing moment of indulgence.
The polyglutamic acid (0.5% content), also abbreviated as PGA, is a natural polymer obtained via a biotechnical process through the fermentation of soybeans. It is characterized by its unusual effect as a humectant in the skin. Polyglutamic acid forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to minimize moisture loss and boost the skin’s ability to store moisture (retention). Thanks to these water-binding properties, PGA can store up to four times more moisture than hyaluronic acid, as proven in scientific studies. This leaves the skin instantly looking smoother and more elastic. In addition, PGA can inhibit the activity of the enzyme hyaluronidase, which minimizes the natural hyaluronic acid content, stabilizing and increasing the content of hyaluronic acid in the skin. The combination of the two active ingredients has a synergetic, moisturizing effect. In addition, PGA stimulates the natural moisturizing factors (NMF) and increases its own production to improve the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid synthesis.
With age and under the influence of harmful environmental factors, the skin loses its ability to synthesize hyaluronic acid itself. To counteract this process, which can set in as early as the age of twenty, the powerful HY 3 peptide (2.5%) stimulates the skin’s natural synthesis of hyaluronan in the extracellular matrix to boost firmness. In addition, it increases the production of essential proteins that strengthen the collagen fibers, resulting in visibly firmer, more plump, and contoured skin.
3D xylitol derivative, a multifunctional humectant made from natural sugar compounds, acts as a protective shield against dehydration: Its mechanism of action stimulates the formation of the body’s natural aquaporins (membrane proteins). They create channels in the cell membrane that enable the transport of water through the cells. This process sustainably optimizes water circulation and moisture distribution in the skin and maintains the optimum water content inside the cell. Furthermore, the derivative stimulates the synthesis of essential lipids (ceramides) and hyaluronic acid, which reinforces the skin’s protective barrier and improves its ability to retain moisture. This way, any sensation of dryness is reduced, and the skin appears plumper and more revitalized.
The natural skincare oil of squalane derived from olives supports the skin’s natural protective barrier and prevents the skin from losing moisture. At the same time, it smooths out small wrinkles, reduces redness, and makes the skin silky smooth.
The biogen plant extract protects the skin against harmful environmental influences. The exquisite plant extract is derived from 8 highly potent plants of different genera. It has been researched and continuously improved for 6 decades, making it a true masterpiece of modern cosmetic research. The synergy of secondary plant substances, phenols, flavonoids, and other active ingredients revitalizes the skin by protecting it from free radicals and oxidative stress. The skin’s natural processes are improved, while the omnipotent essences unfold a positive effect on the skin microbiome. With each application, the skin is stimulated to produce a more revitalized, strengthened, and balanced complexion.
