Lycogel Complex combines the breathability of a triple-silica gel base with Live Yeast Cell Derivative (LYCD) to increase oxygen uptake of the skin. Allowing the skin to breathe while increasing oxygen helps eliminate redness, swelling, and irritation associated with post procedural and problem or sensitive skin.

Oxygen intake to the skin increases your skin cells’ circulation. In doing this, it helps speed along the recovery process for those who have problem skin or it allows the natural cell regeneration process to take place without interference. This leads to greater anti-ageing benefits for daily use as opposed to other foundations that suffocates your skin.

When you first start using your Lycogel® it may be necessary to prime the pump by pumping it a few times to allow the product to be drawn into the dispensing chamber. Very rarely you may find that during use the pump will not dispense-if this happens just turn the bottle upside down and shake it a few times. See below for a demonstration

Airless Packaging ensures complete sealing of the package preventing air from entering. Thus, aggressive preservatives found in some other products are prevented. Once the container is opened air contact automatically generates microbial contamination of the product. Airless packaging offer maximum protection against micro-organisms (bacteria viruses, fungi, yeasts) and some allergens (pollens, spores, dust). A freshly-cut apple turns brown, a bicycle becomes rusty and a copper penny turns green. They are all examples of a process called oxidation. When opening a product, contact with air causes oxidation of its components. No more frustration, times are over when you had to open up the tube with a pair of scissors to collect the remaining product at the bottom, Airless packaging allows almost complete use of the content. Airless is a propellant-free solution and therefore more environmentally friendly and safer.

Lycogel will give you excellent coverage of dry and scaly areas as well as a soothing hydrating effect. However I must be honest with you there is no make-up on the planet that can hide dryness. So depending on why the area is dry and scaly Lycogel can work in 2 ways. If the area is dry and scaly due to a procedure which you have had done like laser or peels, then Lycogel will cover that but it will also speed up the dry flaking off of the skin so that your skin can go back to smooth texture as soon as possible. If your skin is dry and scaly due to an on-going medical condition then Lycogel will offer you all the coverage and healing/soothing benefits, but you will always have to deal with the look of flakiness underneath the make-up. The difference is Lycogel won't suffocate your skin or make it worse as other make-ups will do. If your skin is dry and scaly but not as a result of above mentioned circumstances, then you seriously need to look at your skincare products and routine. This should be very quick to rectify and then your skin will be in a beautiful condition, well hydrated without being oily and combined with your everyday Lycogel application, you should have a lifetime of good, normal and smooth looking skin.
