If your skin appears tired, dry, and slack, Active Nourishing Gel from the Medex for Men line is the ideal solution for you. This regenerating and nourishing night gel restores the skin’s moisture balance, leaving it hydrated and revitalized. Apply it overnight for best results. If nighttime nourishment alone is no longer enough, use it during the day as well, underneath the Protective Nourishing Gel for added protection and care.

Before bed, thoroughly cleanse your skin with Cleansing Gel. Then, gently massage a small amount of Active Nourishing Gel into the skin with your fingertips, focusing on the eye area and neck. If there are signs of weakness or fatigue around the eyes, it is recommended to massage "Actiprotin" around the eyes. For older or severely damaged skin, it is advised to apply "Actiprotin" 5 to 10 minutes before applying Active Nourishing Gel. Alternatively, you can switch to the stronger Nourepair Gel instead of Active Nourishing Gel.

Caprylyl Glycol is a moisturizing agent with a C8 carbon tail that retains moisture thanks to its two Hydroxyl groups (-OH). Under specific conditions, it also has mild preservative properties, making it effective in products for skin issues related to microorganisms, such as acne (in skincare) and dandruff (in shampoos).

Glycerin (natural source) is a small molecule that binds and holds water. It is a valuable component of the Natural Moisturizing Factor, maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance.

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein helps improve the skin's elasticity and acts as a powerful moisturizer. It also reduces the risk of irritation and stimulates the regeneration of skin cells.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) promotes the production of ceramides in the skin, strengthening the skin's barrier by forming lamellar lipid layers. It enhances the skin's natural moisture and resistance. A deficiency in Vitamin B3 can lead to skin deterioration, known as "Pellagra."

Sodium Lactate is a small, salt-like molecule that binds and retains water, contributing to the Natural Moisturizing Factor and maintaining the skin’s moisture balance.

Urea is a small molecule with excellent water-binding properties, helping to preserve the skin's moisture balance.
