Greek term or phrase: óõãêñáôïýí ôï íåñü

Τα βιο-ενεργά συστατικά που περιέχει συγκρατούν το νερό στις ανώτερες στοιβάδες της επιδερμίδας, βελτιώνοντας την ποιότητα του υδρολιπιδικού φιλμ στην επιφάνεια και επαναφέρει την ευαίσθητη επιδερμίδα στην φυσιολογική της κατάσταση. Έτσι μέρα μα την ημέρα το αμυντικό σύστημα των ευαίσθητων επιδερμίδων βελτιώνεται και γίνονται πιο ανθεκτικές στις εξωτερικές επιδράσεις. Για ακόμα πιο άμεσα αποτελέσματα συνιστάται η χρήση του Sérum Oxygénation πριν την κρέμα.
