Dry Skin and Dehydrated Skin: Understanding the Difference
Although often used interchangeably, dry skin and dehydrated skin are distinct conditions that require different approaches to care.
Dry skin is characterized by a deficiency of lipids (natural oils), which are essential for maintaining the skin barrier and preventing transepidermal water loss. Common signs include roughness, flaking, scaling, and persistent skin discomfort.
Dehydrated skin results from insufficient water content within the skin and can affect all skin types, including oily skin. Typical symptoms include tightness, dullness, reduced skin suppleness, and the appearance of fine dehydration lines.
Many individuals experience both conditions simultaneously, leading to compromised barrier function, increased sensitivity, and chronic skin discomfort.

A Powerful Two-Step Approach to Dry Skin Care
Swissforce combines the complementary benefits of 10% Urea, Saccharide Isomerate, and Vitamin F to help address the key physiological mechanisms associated with dry and dehydrated skin.
10% Urea, a clinically recognized humectant and natural moisturizing factor (NMF), helps improve water retention while softening rough, dry skin. Saccharide Isomerate provides long-lasting hydration by binding to the skin and supporting optimal moisture balance. To complete the routine, the targeted Vitamin F Skin Restoring Oil helps replenish essential fatty acids, reinforce the skin barrier, and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Together, these dermatologically relevant ingredients help restore skin comfort, improve barrier function, and promote smoother, healthier-looking, and better-hydrated skin.
