What ingredients are BABOR cosmetics made from? Are the products tested on animals?
|
| |
Dr. Babor does not test cosmetic products or ingredients on animals or commission other companies to do so. Our finished products are tested on volunteers in a renowned skin clinic under medical supervision. BABOR uses the greatest possible proportion of natural ingredients for its high-quality treatment systems. Whenever possible, the active ingredients in particular are natural substances from renewable primary products. The additives in the basic preparations may, however, be of synthetic origin. There are two main arguments for this: BABOR guarantees a high and constant quality standard and ensures the functioning of a product for professional application. By this we mean treatment by professional estheticians, who apply BABOR products in cosmetics studios and also sell them after extensive advice. |

What are the main ingredients in your sun protection products?
|
| |
UVA and UVB filters reduce UV radiation penetration to the skin. However, they cannot ward it off entirely. This is why BABOR’s sun protection products also contain the innovative CELL PROTECT COMPLEX. Extracts of Senna didymobotrya protect the DNA of the cells from damage by UV radiation and promote the natural repair mechanism of the cells. In addition, highly effective radical scavengers vitamins E and C are encapsulated in a carrier ball, which opens in the event of UV exposure, protecting the skin precisely when it needs it. In this way the innovative active ingredient combination protects the DNA of the cells. It reduces long-term damage such as UV-induced skin cancer. In addition, the anti-aging complex SPC+ actively helps to protect against skin aging. |

What is the pH value of your products?
|
| |
The pH value of our products ranges from around 5 to 5.5 (neutral). |

Why are there different scrubs for the face and body?
|
| |
The skin on the face is thinner than the skin on the body and therefore more sensitive. It reacts more quickly to mechanical stimuli and should therefore be treated with a milder scrub, ideally with rounded beads/smoothing particles, as these do not scratch. |

How long can your products be kept for? Where can I find the best before date?
|
| |
On our products you can find the pot symbol with an open lid. Inside the pot symbol there is a number, “xxM” – in the case of Vita Balance Day Cream, for instance, it is 12M. This means that the pot should be used within 12 months of opening. |

Why is the facial cleansing system made up of the two products HY-ÖL® and PHYTOACTIVE?
|
| |
HY-ÖL®, a hydrophilic, herbal-based cleansing oil removes oil-soluble particles of dirt and PHYTOACTIVE removes water-soluble particles of dirt. In addition, the cleansing phase takes into consideration your particular skin type. And pleasantly scented PHYTOACTIVEs also have an aromachological effect. |

I am 39 years old and have very dry skin. Unfortunately I am already getting small wrinkles, especially around my eyes. Could you recommend any products for me?
|
| |
For cleansing, we recommend Hy-Öl and the accompanying PHYTOACTIVE BASE; these herbal essences will nourish, revitalise and stimulate your skin during cleansing. The PHYTOACTIVE BASE has been specially developed for dry skin. As a face cream, we recommend the VITA BALANCE products from our SKIN CARE SYSTEM GOLD. VITA BALANCE lends your skin intensive moisture and also creates a “moisture depot” in your skin. After cleansing, apply VITA BALANCE CONCENTRATE, a moisturising concentrate for maximum moisture which smoothes small dryness wrinkles. Then we would recommend using the daytime treatment from the treatment system and, for the night-time, the night treatment. For an extra portion of lipids, you could also use VITA BALANCE LIPID PLUS KAPSELN.
These intensive treatment capsules will make even flaky and rough spots smooth and supple again. For the sensitive area around the eyes, we recommend SENSATIONAL EYES CREAM. This eye cream is free from perfumes and colourants. This rich but quick-absorbing eye cream plumps up small wrinkles from underneath!

I have had blemished skin since puberty. I find this a real problem because everyone can see my face. My body isn’t affected at all. Can you recommend any BABOR products for me?
|
| |
For cleansing, we recommend CLEANSING GEL, which you can follow with our intensive TONIC. For problem skin, we recommend using the PURE SYSTEMPFLEGE treatment system. After cleansing, apply PURE FLUID first of all. This is an active ingredient concentrate for combating skin blemishes and promoting the healing process. As a daytime treatment, apply PURE DAY CREAM. As a night-time treatment, use PURE NIGHT CREAM: you can use PURE FLUID underneath the night cream. In addition, we have a PURE CLEAR & COVER STICK; an antiseptic concealer for covering individual spots during the daytime. |

In the past I really “worshipped” the sun. Now, at a more mature age, my skin looks rather stressed. My skin has an uneven complexion. What can I do about this?
|
| |
For cleansing, we recommend HY-ÖL® and the accompanying PHYTOACTIVE REGENERATING; these herbal essences will nourish and regenerate your skin during cleansing. After cleansing, pamper your skin with ADVANCED BIOGEN CONCENTRATE. This regenerating active ingredient concentrate revitalises the skin and smoothes small wrinkles. The highly effective BIOGEN REPAIR COMPLEX will stimulate your skin and encourage regeneration. In addition, the products protect against environmental skin aging. As a daytime treatment, we recommend ADVANCED BIOGEN DAY CREAM and, as a night-time treatment, ADVANCED BIOGEN NIGHT CREAM from our SKIN CARE SYSTEM GOLD. If your décolleté is also in need of regeneration, we recommend in addition the ADVANCED BIOGEN DECOLLETÉ CREAM. This revitalising cream for the neck and décolleté strengthens the skin structure with a long-lasting effect and supplies this sensitive area of skin with moisture. |

I suffer from problem skin on my forehead, nose and also occasionally on my chin. The pores here are also enlarged. But I also seem to have rather dry skin on my cheeks. What would you recommend for me?
|
| |
For cleansing, we would recommend our “water-loving” Hy-Öl along with the PHYTOACTIVE COMBINATION. You should use this for cleansing every morning and night. From our treatment system SKIN CARE SYSTEM GOLD, apply the PERFECT COMBINATION CONCENTRATE to your face, neck and décolleté and gently pat or massage in. As a daytime treatment, we recommend the PERFECT COMBINATION DAY CREAM and at night-time the PERFECT COMBINATION NIGHT CREAM from our treatment system. This treatment balances the oil and moisture content of your skin.
For your T-zone, we recommend T-ZONE CONTROL, which helps to prevent problem zones from becoming oily again

My skin always reacts very sensitively. It is also very dry and little red veins can be seen through it. Which products would you recommend for me?
|
| |
For cleansing, we would recommend our hydrophilic cleanser HY-ÖL®. This is combined with skin-calming herbal essences when used together with PHYTOACTIVE SENSITIVE. After cleansing, apply our treatment system CALMING SENSITIVE. First of all, after cleansing, apply CALMING SENSITIVE COUPEROSE SERUM locally to your enlarged veins. Or even better, apply it to your whole face, neck and décolleté as a preventive treatment. This serum strengthens the vascular walls and supplies your skin with sufficient moisture. As a daytime treatment, apply CALMING SENSITIVE DAY CREAM on top of this. As a night-time treatment, we recommend CALMING SENSITIVE NIGHT CREAM. The day cream and night cream are free from perfumes and colourants. |
