Medex Protective Hydermios - 50ml

The Medex Protective Hydermios day cream is a rich, protective formula specifically developed for dry and dehydration-prone skin. Modern indoor environments — offices, shops, artificial lighting, and heating systems — quietly accelerate skin ageing by stripping moisture from the skin. This thoughtfully crafted day cream creates a protective barrier that defends against exactly these daily stressors. At the heart of Protective Hydermios are some of the purest plant-based oils available, including Sweet Almond Oil and Shea Butter, which deeply nourish the skin while supporting its natural flexibility and softness. Botanical extracts of German Chamomile, Horsetail, Lemon Balm, and Sage work together to calm, firm, and restore the complexion, while Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Sodium Lactate actively reinforce the skin barrier and maintain a healthy moisture balance. A built-in UV filter with Titanium Dioxide provides additional protection against harmful sun and neon light exposure. True to Medex's dermoscientific philosophy, Protective Hydermios is formulated without silicones, paraffin oil, or microplastics — and comes in a glass jar. If your skin craves genuine, long-lasting hydration and everyday protection, this is the day cream to reach for.

Protective Hydermios works through a multi-layered mechanism. Sodium lactate and urea are powerful humectants that bind water deep within the skin and stabilise its natural moisture reservoir. Niacinamide reinforces the skin barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss caused by indoor heating and dry office environments. Sweet almond oil and shea butter form a protective lipid film over the skin, while chamomile and lemon balm deliver anti-inflammatory and restorative effects on stressed skin. Horsetail extract stimulates collagen and elastin production, visibly improving firmness and elasticity. Titanium dioxide reflects harmful UV rays and neon light, shielding the skin from the external stressors that accelerate premature aging.

Apply Protective Hydermios every morning to cleansed skin. Take a small amount and gently massage it into your face and neck using upward, circular motions until fully absorbed. Use it as the final step in your morning skincare routine, before makeup if desired. For best results, use daily as your regular moisturising day cream.
