LUMEA COSMETICS RESPONDS
Oily skin is characterized by a typical shiny appearance, dilated follicles, and feels greasy to the touch.
It is the excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands that causes these problems, often accompanied by alterations due to the thickening of the stratum corneum!
At the base of oily skin is an alteration in the sebum production mechanism, which can be caused by various reasons: the environment in which one lives, lifestyle, hormones, genetic predisposition, and age.
The greasy appearance of the skin is just one of the consequences of excessive sebum production by the glands; another can be identified in the appearance of pimples and blackheads, which are the result of pores clogged by dead skin cells that have mixed with the excess sebum.
The complexion of oily skin is rather dull and unhealthy, to the touch it feels uneven in texture, greasy and rough, why?
Because sometimes oily (asphyxiated) skin is even
dehydrated due to the stratum corneum being so thickened that it prevents moisture from penetrating the underlying layers, the result? The skin does not absorb the cosmetics used and it is thought that no further hydration is needed, but the opposite is true.
Cosmetics are not absorbed and little by little the skin loses elasticity and hydration, despite the persistent greasy appearance.
In this type of skin, the hydrolipidic film, in fact, becomes thicker and waxy, so much so that it hinders perspiration and promotes the activity of microorganisms that cause inflammation and bad odors.
Oily skin also tends to have visibly enlarged pores, scars left by acne, and redness.
PURA exfoliates, thus reducing the thickness of the stratum corneum and regulates sebum production, decreasing the greasy effect on the face. Used as a serum before face cream, morning and evening, it is able to significantly reduce the shiny effect typical of oily skin and the feeling of heaviness.
Those who fall in love with PURA by Lumea cosmetics tell us: “it's incredible, it absorbs immediately and doesn't stay on the face for hours.”
In fact, those with oily or asphyxiated skin are tormented by the fact that creams and serums accumulate on the facial skin without being absorbed, leaving the skin even greasier and heavier than before. Pure snail slime, without the addition of additives or gelling agents like ours, penetrates the skin quickly, like fresh water misted on the face, additionally having a MATTE effect on oily skin.
What is glycolic acid?
It is the glycolic acid naturally present in snail slime that has a strong exfoliating power on the face, removing dead cells and impurities from the surface layer, promoting rejuvenation and cell renewal.
By removing the dead cells accumulated on the surface of the face, the young cells present in the underlying layers are allowed to breathe, bringing them to the surface.
In young cells, the layer of accumulated sebum will be less, as the same fat will not be trapped in the layers of dead cells, unable to react.
Once glycolic acid is applied to the skin, it acts by weakening the lipid bonds between the cells of the epidermis: this action facilitates their removal. Glycolic acid is indeed essential to help in cases of oily skin, acne, scars, spots, expression lines.

In cosmetics, glycolic acid is present in small percentages in facial and body care products: on average with a 10% concentration. In snail slime, we find it naturally, without specific processing and formulations, which is why its power is high and makes it ideal for all skin types. From sensitive to oily or combination skin.
