Since these are very small molecules, they easily pass through the epidermis (the top layer of the skin). However, they cannot pass to the lower layer, the dermis. They trigger the regeneration of cells in the epidermis and increase their tolerance to external factors. Apart from cell regeneration, it is also successful in the treatment of superficial spots of epidermal origin.
