Dove Visible Effects Nourishing Body Lotion features the patented Multi-Layer Complex, which suspends and infuses moisture at all levels of the skin*- the surface, the core and deep down to deliver a visible improvement to the skin surface . (stratum corneum). A premium body lotion that delivers superior moisturisation for visibly more beautiful looking skin. Using the patented Multi-Layer Complex technology that nourishes every layer of your skin – the surface, the middle and deep down where beautiful skin begins. The surface needs a lotion to replace lost moisture and help keep it in place to prevent dryness and rough texture. Glycerol Quat (GQ) is the only humectant to hold moisture at the surface of skin where it needs moisture the most – and where signs of rough texture show. The core: A lotion needs to keep skin functional at its very best in order to bring healthy skin cells all the way to the top. Glycerin penetrates skin for long lasting moisture. Deep down: A lotion should help ensure these cells develop properly. HEU sinks even deeper down to where new skin cells are maturing and where healthy new skin begins.
