BMD UltraLux B3

Struggling with thirsty skin? This moisturizer has a triple-threat of ingredients that hydrate and create a protective barrier to seal in water. The added benefit: it helps eradicate the redness and irritation caused by dryness.

Product Details

Bryn Mawr Dermatology had this unique healing balm designed especially for patients who have undergone minorly invasive procedures in our office like microneedling or laser treatments because its ingredients are non-irritating and protect healing skin from the outside environment including pathogens and water loss. After much sampling, it became a staff-favorite to help with every-day dryness because of its luxurious texture and ability to add and retain hydration. Patients of all ages and skin types choose UltraLux to combat dry, tight, irritated skin as it is the perfect answer to the environment’s assault on our largest organ. 

After cleansing your skin and applying any anti-acne or anti-aging products, wait 5 minutes before applying a generous layer of BMD UltraLux to your face and neck. The recovery complex will feel heavy on your fingertips, but the warmth of your skin upon application will melt it into a creamy, easily-spreadable texture. Apply it in small circular motions to gently massage your skin and increase blood flow to encourage lymphatic drainage. Every application should leave your skin healthy and glowing.

A healthy skin barrier is composed of a 3-dimensional structure of densely packed lipids (fats including cholesterol, fatty acids and ceramides) that function to protect the underlying structures from heat, cold, wind, dehydration and other assailants. Both genetics and the process of aging can leave your skin barrier struggling. Outside factors can also play a major role in the health of your skin and its ability to retain water; summer fun-in-the-sun and waterplay dry out skin, as does the low humidity you experience in the winter months. BMD’s Ultralux is packed full of ingredients that help repair the skin barrier: humectants to attract water, cholesterols and fatty acids to repair the skin structure, and anti-inflammatory agents to soothe irritated skin.

Dr. Christine Stanko of Bryn Mawr Dermatology recommends following the simple sequence:

Cleanse. Treat. Moisturize. Protect. Repeat.

These steps will help resolve any issues your skin is experiencing and defend it against both the damaging assaults from outside your body - dirt, pollutants, UV exposure and pathogens like bacteria - and inside your body - pH imbalances, oil over/underproduction, overgrowth of your skin’s natural flora, and the natural aging process.

BMD’s Soothing Foamy Cleanser is the perfect first step for those who are struggling with skin that tends towards dryness or has dry patches. It is also great for those who are dealing with Rosacea or Eczema secondary to skin inflammation. To treat skin, we recommend dabbing on a few drops of the powerful antioxidant BMD Vitamin C + Ferulic serum. This weighless product helps combat photo-aging and when layered under an emollient moisturizer like the UltraLux, packs a powerful 1-2 punch to hydrate and replenish skin. The amazingly hydrating and palliative moisturizer BMD Ultralux that is highlighted on this page is highly recommended for folks with sensitive skin. It soothes irritation and creates a strong barrier between your insides and the harsh weather, and other environmental factors outside. And finally, make sure to protect your skin every morning with an SPF of 30 or more - whether you plan to be outside or not! Elta has designed a 100% mineral sunscreen called Elta Elements that is chemical-free lightweight, and has a beautiful universal tint that can disguise any residual redness and enhance your skin tone. Repeat this regimen in the morning, and before you go to bed. Of course, you can skip the sunscreen at night.
