Frequently asked questions

Why do I need to use a Toner?

The Toner is a versatile product. It can soothe problem skin, add antioxidants and moisture binding substances to the skin and remove the last traces of Cleanser. Applying a Moisturizer after the Toner ensures that moisture as well as the active ingredients in the Toner are ‘locked in’ the skin. The Toner ensures that the subsequent cream works more effectively. This multi-tasker thereby forms a vital part of the daily care of your skin.

What exactly is Azelaic Acid and how does the Serum work?

Azelaic Acid is naturally present in the skin but can also be found in other sources such as wheat, rye and barley. It has anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating properties and acts as an antioxidant. Dr. Jetske Ultee opted for a derivative of azelaic acid that is stable, mild and effective.

Aside from azelaic acid the Serum contains magnolia bark extract. This substance not only acts as an antioxidant, it also has antibacterial properties. An effective concentration of liquorice root extra was added for an extra soothing effect. In addition, the Serum contains the yeast killing ingredient Piroctone Olamine. Together the ingredients ensure that the skin becomes smoother. Problems such as redness and bumps lessen. Furthermore, the Serum has a lightening effect on certain pigment spots.

What can an Exfoliant do for the skin?

Proper Exfoliants do more than give your skin a fresh feel. Apart from dislodging and removing the build-up of dead skin cells, they immediately improve the moisture balance and strengthen the skin itself. This happens through the activity of specific hydroxy acids. Therefore this applies to all exfoliating products: use them with care. Acids can cause some irritation to begin with. Therefore build up their application gradually. Acids only work with a low pH value (acidic). If the pH value is higher than 5, then your product will probably have little effect.

The active ingredients in Suncare

The sun filters in Suncare are among the safest filters that there are. They protect the skin against UVB and UVA rays. Suncare has been specially created for the face. Alongside good filters, therefore, both of these products also contain high concentrations of active ingredients, such as Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Vitamin E and caffeine. These substances have an antioxidant effect, protect the skin against the effects of infra-red rays and also strengthen the barrier function.

What does the Moisturizer do?

The Moisturizer makes up an important part of skincare. To begin with, this product ensures the skin has a good moisture balance. Alongside this the Moisturizer nourishes the skin and protects it against external influences. The Moisturizer does so much more than just giving a fine soft feel. It is a commanding beautifier in our step by step plan.

But when do I choose for the Repair Cream?

The Repair Cream is for local treatment of very dry or irritated patches of skin. Use this first aid cream, which includes oat extract and a unique complex of ceramides, for fast recovery of, for example, flaky patches on your shins, cracked lips, dry elbows, hands or feet, but also on your face if you suffer from very dry skin. The tube is easy to put in your bag while travelling. The Repair Cream is also a nice product to use on the slopes, during a windy beach walk or on the ice. The Body Cream is for regular use all over the body.

What does Vitamin A Serum do?

The Serum helps reduce signs of skin ageing. Vitamin A ensures an improved production of collagen. The skin acquires a stronger structure. This process helps reduce fine lines, give the skin a more youthful radiance and prevent new wrinkles from forming. The Serum is also effective for blocked pores, course skin texture and impurities. Long term and consistent use will make the skin smoother and more even.
