How it works

Very dry skin requires daily maintenance to keep it hydrated and supple and to prevent it from becoming drier. When your skin is well moisturised, its normal cellular functions operate smoothly including your skin's amazing ability to repair itself. With this in mind, we formulated Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Lotion, which gives you a new way to fight back against very dry skin.

The powerful effectiveness of Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Lotion can be found in its unique balance of key ingredients - specifically humectants and occlusives. Humectants, like Glycerin, bind and lock individual water molecules to your skin, while occlusives, like Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly, fill the void of lost lipids and provide a physical barrier to prevent further water loss.

The end result is that this combination of ingredients provides both instant relief and long-lasting moisture to your skin. Here's how Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Lotion works:

Instant relief

Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Lotion provides the instant relief your very dry skin needs to feel hydrated and comfortable through humectants like glycerin. Humectants increase and hold the water level of your skin directly upon application, which is something your very dry skin needs to get it healthier.

To measure the immediate effectiveness of Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Lotion, our scientists utilised a SKICON Skin Hygrometer - a skin moisture meter that measures the degree of hydration in your skin. Research shows that within one minute of Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Lotion's application, the infusion of water and humectants immediately increases your skin's moisture, helping to relieve dryness and tightness of skin. This infusion of moisture also increases your skin's overall baseline moisture (as shown in the graph).

Performance

Over a 24-hour period, research confirms that Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Lotion trumps its competitors in two key areas. First, our scientists looked at skin moisture levels 24 hours after lotion application in comparison with that of our competitors. As you can see in the graph below, over the course of a day, only skin treated with Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Lotion maintained the higher levels of moisture in the skin. More importantly, at the end of a 24-hour period, very dry skin treated with our body lotion had the highest moisture levels versus competition (as indicated in the graph below) and untreated skin.

How it works

Sometimes very dry skin has its moments and specific dry spots on your body flare up, getting extremely and painfully dry. Your elbows, knees and other troublesome areas need more than a simple daily dry skin lotion can deliver - they require intensive spot treatment and special care.

Intensive Rescue™ Relief & Repair Balm, the most powerful and effective product in our entire line-up, delivers two crucial elements in the fight against very dry skin:

• Immediate relief through a burst of skin hydration
• Long-lasting moisture protection to ensure skin stays hydrated all day

Intensive Rescue™ Relief & Repair Balm is formulated with the ideal balance of humectants (glycerin) and occlusives (specifically, Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly) to help your very dry skin begin healing itself within five days. Here's how it works:

Instant relief

Intensive Rescue™ Relief & Repair Balm contains 12% Glycerin, which helps deliver an instant burst of hydration to your skin, addressing and immediately relieving the soreness, tightness and flaking caused by overly dry skin. Immediate hydration is the first step to helping extremely dry skin spots by softening skin cells, while adding the moisture your skin needs.

Long-lasting moisture and healing

Breaking the cycle of flare-ups caused by overly dry skin, however, requires more than instant relief. Intensive Rescue™ Relief & Repair Balm is formulated with 30% Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly. This high concentration of occlusives helps protect your skin from further water loss, holding in your natural moisture. A high concentration of Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly is also necessary for the repair of extremely dry skin, which suffers from a structural breakdown within the topmost layer of your skin. Occlusives essentially fill in the breaks in your stratum corneum, which is the top layer of skin, promoting the environment for extremely dry skin to repair itself.

In the following graph, we measured skin's visual dryness grade after five days of use. A grade of 4 indicates severely dry skin. Any measurement between 0 and 1 indicates normal skin. Note that after using Intensive Rescue™ Relief & Repair Balm for five days, skin's mean visual dryness falls below 0.5 - the minimum level of dryness perceptibility. This means that the signs of very dry skin have improved and that skin looks more moisturised and healthy over time.

Performance

Over 24 hours, Intensive Rescue™ Relief & Repair Balm delivers a higher level of moisture to your most difficult areas of dry skin than its competitors (indicated below in the graph). To measure the effectiveness of our balm and its competitors, our scientists utilised a SKICON Skin Hygrometer - a skin moisture meter that measures the degree of hydration in your skin. Not only does Intensive Rescue™ Relief & Repair Balm deliver consistently more moisture over a 24-hour period, but it also leaves your skin more moisturised at 24 hours than the competitive products tested. More moisture in your skin means promoting the proper environment for your dry skin to effectively repair itself.

Info

How it works

When your skin becomes overly dry, you struggle to control the tightness, dullness, and flakiness of your skin. Beyond those bothersome and unsightly dry skin symptoms, your skin's natural water equilibrium and moisture barriers have broken down. We understand how to bring your toughest dry skin back to health, which is why we created Vaseline® Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Body Butter. Our Body Butter's thick, creamy formula deeply conditions parched, dry skin-to bring instant relief and long-lasting moisture to troublesome dry skin to help dry skin actually heal itself.

Vaseline® Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Body Butter gives you a new way to deeply condition even tight, dull, dry skin. The special combination of Vaseline® Body Butter's ingredients works to help heal even the driest skin. Glycerin, a humectant, instantly softens; Cocoa butter, an emollient, helps deep condition further; and occlusive petrolatum helps defend against moisture loss.

Instant relief

Vaseline® Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Body Butter's performance was measured by our scientists using SKICON-a moisture meter that measures the degree of hydration in your skin. Research shows that our Body Butter, which contains 6% glycerin (a humectant) provided a significant increase of moisture-nearly 150% more hydration than its baseline level. It's deep moisturization provides immediate relief to the tightness and associated symptoms caused by overly dry skin.

Deeply Conditioning for Long-Term Repair

Our scientists also evaluated Body Butter's long term moisture performance using the Corneometer, a moisture meter that provides an index of hydration in skin. One application of Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Body Butter is clinically proven to deliver and maintain a significant increase in skin moisture better than a competitive body butter product. Such findings confirm that moisture stays in your very dry skin, enhancing your skin's ability to repair itself.

Penetrating, All Day Moisturizer

The effectiveness of Vaseline® Intensive Rescue™ Moisture Locking Body Butter's long-term moisture improvement is also measured by the satisfaction of consumers who used the product on a daily basis over a week.

Healthy skin naturally repairs itself. But the constant pounding feet take every day puts intense pressure on this natural process, leading to severely dry and rough skin.

Key Ingredients

• Glycerin - instantly softens skin
• Occlusives - help stem moisture loss
• Alpha Hydroxyl Acids (AHAs) - help reduce roughness

How it works

Your feet work hard every day, allowing you to go to all the places you desire, so it's important to take good care of them and to keep them moisturised. For feet with very dry skin, it's even more crucial that they receive special care given all the wear and tear they withstand on a daily basis. Whether your dry feet are exposed to the elements in summertime sandals, or tucked away in wool socks and boots in the winter, they are losing essential moisture.

As your feet become very dry from surrounding elements, constant pounding and intense pressure, the skin on feet hardens and coarsens. But more than that, rough, dry skin on your feet creates an environment where further moisture loss continues, making it difficult for skin's natural healing processes to occur.

Intensive Rescue™ Hydrating Foot Cream helps you fight back against very dry skin, using an optimal combination of humectants, occlusives and alpha hydroxyl acids. The foot cream softens skin on contact while gently reducing skin's roughness within five days. Here's how it works:

Instant relief

Intensive Rescue™ Hydrating Foot Cream's effectiveness was measured by our scientists using a SKICON Skin Hygrometer - a skin moisture meter that measures the degree of hydration in your skin. Research shows that our foot cream, which contains 6% glycerin (a humectant) provided a significant increase of moisture - maintaining nearly three times its baseline level immediately following application - instantly relieving the discomfort and associated symptoms of overly dry feet.

Reducing roughness for long-term repair

Intensive Rescue™ Hydrating Foot Cream also contains 13% Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly, an occlusive, which helps fill in the lipid structure of your very dry feet; while also preventing further moisture loss, allowing skin to retain moisture over time. The Alpha Hydroxyl Acids in Intensive Rescue™ Hydrating Foot Cream gently soften and exfoliate your feet's rough, coarse skin, delivering comfort while further promoting the proper environment for healing.

The effectiveness of Intensive Rescue™ Hydrating Foot Cream's long-term improvement of very dry skin is also measured by the extreme satisfaction of consumers, who used the product on their feet on a daily basis over the course of a month.

They were asked to comment on the severity of several skin conditions on two notorious problem areas for feet - the heel and the sole - over the course of a month. As you will see, conditions such as dryness, roughness and cracking significantly lowered after just one day of use and remained that way through 28 days of daily use.

Healthy skin naturally repairs itself. But the constant activity and exposure of hands may disrupt this natural process, leading to severely dry and rough skin.

Vaseline® Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream's unique formula infuses dry skin with intense moisturisers and it sinks in within seconds, yet lasts all day to promote the ideal environment that skin needs to repair itself.

Key Ingredients

• Glycerin - instantly softens skin
• Occlusives - help stem moisture loss
• Unique Formulation - specialised for the needs of hands

How it works

Your hands are constantly in motion, working hard to bring the world closer to you. All of this activity means vigorous washing and exposure to the elements - like wind, cold, air-conditioning or heat - that pulls moisture out of your already very dry skin.

You work hard to take care of your dry skin, so you need a hand cream that can help you fight back against extreme dryness. With this in mind we formulated Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream which provides instant relief to overly dry skin, as well as long-lasting moisture, all within a unique cationic formulation leaves your hands silky - not greasy or slippery. Here's how Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream works:

Instant relief

Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream contains a phenomenally high concentration of the humectant glycerin (16.8%), which delivers an immediate burst of moisture to your dry, tight hands. And the relief you feel lasts all day long, promoting the proper environment for your dry skin to begin repairing itself.

The graph below is comprised of results that our scientists received by using a SKICON Skin Hygrometer - a moisture meter that measures the degree of hydration in your skin. It shows the effects of lotions formulated with 6% and 12% Glycerin, which we know is extremely effective at providing instant relief to extremely dry skin. However, since very dry hands have special needs - and given how hard they work and what they're often exposed to - Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream is formulated with 16.8% glycerin for a more intense burst of moisture.

Long-lasting moisture

Instant relief is only part of Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream's amazing story in the fight against very dry skin. Additional research shows that repeated daily use of our hand cream significantly increases the level of moisture in your skin over several days to help the healing process. Upon application, Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream's high level of glycerin infuses your stratum corneum with moisture, promoting the environment for proper barrier repair. Additionally, the occlusives in Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream - specifically, Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly - help seal this moisture in. And over time, your skin's baseline moisture level increases.

Non-greasy, unique cationic formula

One of the key drivers in the development of Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream was to ensure that the formulation's aesthetics are right for hands. All too often, even the best hand lotions and creams leave your hands feeling tacky and sticky. Consumers have let us know time and time again that finding a hand cream that goes on smooth and leaves their hands feeling silky and grease-free is important to them. So we designed Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream with a unique, cationic formulation to achieve a clean, smooth, non-greasy feeling. This cationic formulation means that our hand cream has an underlying positive charge, which is attracted to the negative charges on the surface cells of your skin. This attraction serves to prevent the all-too-common sticky feeling many lotions deliver.

Performance

We knew that no one would be satisfied using a hand lotion that left them with anything but a smooth, non-greasy feeling. So we let a group of consumers test Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream against a competitive hand cream for very dry hands - Neutrogena Norwegian Hand Formula. As you can see below, consumers say Intensive Rescue™ Soothing Hand Cream has a significantly better aesthetic and performance than Neutrogena Norwegian Hand Formula, specifically around important product attributes such as:

• Non-greasy
• Easy and quick rub-in
• Easy to spread on skin
