My Review - HealGel Intensive Posted on 7 Jan 2013
Posted on 7 Jan 2013
HealGel has a new look!
Winner of The SOS Essential in the Tatler Beauty Awards 2012.
HealGel Intensive is exactly the same as the old HealGel, except now it comes in a sleek new bottle and a slightly extended name. The gel still contains active ingredients which are designed to address a broad range of skin conditions.
This 'magic in a jar' was created by 5 top plastic surgeons to shorten post-operative recovery time for their patients. It was designed to repair inflamed, post-surgery skin like burns, scars, bruising and strains.
With its anti-inflammatory & healing properties it also has been found to help ease regular skin complaints like extreme dryness, eczema, rosacea, sunburn, cracked and sore lips.
The gel forms a protective coating on the surface of the skin so that the active ingredients can work unhindered beneath – the ingredients include:
The Soothing Group contains:
•Arnica Montana - A plant-derived anti-inflammatory. This has been shown in clinical trails to significantly reduce bruising and swelling. When the smallest of your body’s blood vessels are damaged they let blood leak into the cells around, and as the haemoglobin in the seepage breaks down it discolours the skin - result, bruises.
•Madecassoside - A valued and valuable plant-derived anti-inflammatory. The plant it comes from is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb.
•Haloxyl TM - Another anti-inflammatory, which has been shown in studies to reduce bruising.
•Glistin Glutamylaminomethyl Indole - This is a peptide - a little chain of amino acids, like proteins but shorter, in fact so tiny they can be absorbed by skin. It maintains the nerve cells so they don’t burn or itch so much. It has been shown in studies to work as a mild local pain reliever.
•Biodynes® TRF® - Derived from yeast. Another anti-inflammatory which also actively renews cells and helps them breathe more easily.
The Repair Group contains:
•Collaxyl® Vinci02® - More peptides which have been shown to help repair the surface and undersurface layers of the skin, and stimulate the undersurface cells to make the protein collagen.
•Oristine® - This peptide’s job is to encourage the enzyme SIRT1, which helps regulate the way cells age and deal with stress.
•Signalline® - This tells the signalling enzymes of the body to pass on the message to regenerate the surface and undersurface skin layers and produce more collagen.
The Anti-Scarring Group contains:
•Polysilicone-11 - A silicone that stays on the surface of the skin as a gel and seals it, so that the rest of the ingredients can work undisturbed. It also softens and flattens the visible surface of the wound. Plastic surgeons have used silicones for years to improve scars, and they are very successful in flattening early, red scars when the wound has fully healed.
•Methylsilanol hydroxyproline aspartate - Hydroxyproline is an amino acid, a big part both of collagen and of elastin, the protein that controls the elasticity of connective tissue fibres. It has been shown to help keep damaged tissue from losing its texture and stretchiness.
HealGel is one cream that I keep in my handbag. I have 2 small boys, so it is very useful for all those accidents!
So far I have used it on cracked, sore lips, burns and dry skin – it has worked an absolute treat on all of them!
I do know that this light gel provides instant, cooling relief and does appear to do exactly what it says on the tin!
We are offering 10% off all HealGel products throughout January 2013.
