Allantoin: The Skin-Soothing Healer

Time to read 3 min

Make the Most of Allantoin:

  • Skin Soothing: Calms irritation and reduces redness, making it ideal for sensitive and inflamed skin.
  • Healing Properties: Promotes skin regeneration and repair, helping to heal minor wounds, burns, and irritation.
  • Moisture Retention: Helps to retain moisture in the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and hydrated.
  • Gentle Exfoliation: Encourages gentle exfoliation by promoting the shedding of dead skin cells, resulting in a smoother, more refined skin texture.

Origin and Description:

Allantoin is a naturally occurring compound found in various plants, including comfrey, chamomile, and sugar beets. It can also be synthesized for use in skincare products. Known for its healing, soothing, and moisturizing properties, Allantoin is a versatile ingredient that benefits all skin types, particularly sensitive and irritated skin. It promotes skin regeneration by encouraging the natural exfoliation of dead skin cells, which helps to smooth the skin's surface and accelerate the healing of minor wounds. Additionally, Allantoin helps to maintain skin hydration by forming a protective barrier that reduces moisture loss.

Benefits for Each Skin Type:

Sensitive Skin:

  • Calming Effect: Reduces redness and soothes irritated skin, making it an excellent choice for sensitive and reactive skin types.

  • Non-Irritating: Provides gentle care without causing further sensitivity or discomfort.

Oily Skin:

  • Lightweight Hydration: Moisturizes without clogging pores or adding excess oil, helping to balance oily skin.

  • Refining Texture: Promotes gentle exfoliation, which helps to clear away dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores.

Dry Skin:

  • Deep Moisturization: Helps to retain moisture in the skin, preventing dryness and flakiness.

  • Healing Support: Aids in the repair of dry, cracked skin, improving overall texture and comfort.

Aging Skin:

  • Anti-Aging Support: Encourages cell turnover and skin repair, reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving skin elasticity.

  • Soothing: Calms irritated, aging skin, which can be more prone to sensitivity and inflammation.

Contraindications:

  • Allantoin is generally well-tolerated and safe for all skin types, including sensitive and allergy-prone skin. However, as with any new skincare ingredient, it is advisable to perform a patch test before use.

Our Story

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve had stubborn cystic, hormonal acne for years. Can Revoderm help with that?

Absolutely! Acne is one of the top concerns our customers have online or in our clinic. Our specialists and dermatologist will help with a customized online consult and treatment plan.

Can you help with other medical skin conditions, like eczema and psoriasis?

Our private consults can help with acne, anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, rosacea, and hair loss. If you suspect you have another issue, contact your local dermatologist.

Do I have to part with all of my existing skincare products?

We get it–you invested your time and money on your current skincare routine. However, in order for us to fulfill our promise to you and help you achieve your best skin possible, you must follow our recommendations, which includes products, routine, and prescriptions. We want to make sure everything you’re putting on your skin is working for, and not against, you.

If I get a topical prescription from the dermatologist, can I still use Revoderm skincare products?

Definitely! Revoderm formulas are all medical-grade and developed by a dermatologist, which means they work in harmony with Rx products. (You can’t say the same for random OTC/department store skincare.)
