What is Lycogel Complex?
Dermacia's Lycogel Complex combines the breathability of a triple-silica gel base with live Yeast Cell Derivatives (LYCD) to increase oxygen to the skin. Allowing the skin to breathe while increasing oxygen helps eliminate redness, swelling and irritation associated with problem or sensitive skin.

What is LYCD and what are the benefits?
LYCD, also known as live yeast cell derivative, is well known for its wound healing ability. Patented by Dr.Sperti in 1939, LYCD is referred to as a tissue respiratory factor that virtually allows the skin to breathe. One of the first uses of LYCD was in preparation-H due to the fact it reduced swelling and redness.

How does Dermacia compare to mineral foundations?
Unlike mineral foundations which can clog pores and inhibit respiration, Dermacia actually allows oxygen into your skin. Mineral makeups, like most other foundations, block the skin from taking in vital oxygen. Dermacia is the only foundation that puts your skin to work which causes it to respire or “breathe” more than wearing nothing at all. The question isn’t “What is the best makeup?” The question is, “What is actually BETTER than wearing nothing at all?” ONLY Dermacia better than bare skin!

Start with clean, freshly moisturized skin. Begin application by placing 1 to 2 small pumps of foundation on the back of your hand.

It is best to use light, downward strokes, blending over the entire face and neck area. Return to areas of the face that need extra coverage, using your brush or sponge to add more foundation as needed. Use the Dermacia Concealer brush for blemishes and for small areas, i.e. the corners of the eyes and around the nose and mouth. Be sure to apply makeup to these areas before concealing blemishes; this will prevent transferring bacteria to other parts of your face. If desired, follow with a light, even mist of Dermacia Moisture Spray.
