Dry skin is a common problem faced by both young, mature and elderly people. It is a phenomenon that occurs together with unfavorable weather conditions, improper skin care and genetic conditions. Dermosan is one of the measures to combat this problem, which works not only on the outside, i.e. the visible side of the problem, but also on the inside, i.e. it affects the structure of the skin and changes it.

Dermosan – indications
Dermosan is a greasy cream, which, however, does not clog pores, but nourishes and strengthens weakened skin and inhibits the drying process. It promotes the regeneration of the epidermis and restores the softness and radiance of dried skin. Dermosan contains vitamins A and E, which are called the vitamins of youth, which also prevents the formation of wrinkles. It is important – dry skin ages much faster than normal or combination skin, so it is worth taking care of your good condition.
