QV Skincare is a complete emollient therapy range consisting of two cleansers ( QV Gentle Wash and QV Bath Oil) and three moisturisers ( QV Cream, QV Skin Lotion and QV Intensive Ointment) (Table 1). The two cleansers can simply be used to cleanse the skin while helping to leave it hydrated and intact at the same time. The three moisturisers contain ‘triple moisturising’ technology, and are designed to aid in the management of both healthy skin and dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. When used appropriately and regularly, QV cleansers and moisturisers can effectively reduce water loss from the outermost layer of skin (the stratum corneum) and maintain the skin’s protective/barrier function, resulting in soft and supple skin.[1] They’re different in that QV foams up well and Cetaphil doesn’t. Cetaphil is also suitable for people with very sensitive skin while QV is great for dry skin. The primary function of moisturisers is to prevent moisture loss from the skin and increase overall hydration levels. The best types of moisturisers are those that contain ingredients from all three groups of moisturiser type: emollients, humectants and occludents. Products containing this triple moisturising technology are able to more effectively mimic the skin’s natural moisturising action, to smooth the skin surface and increase water content in the epidermis.[2-6] Emollients, such as silicones, hydrate and improve the appearance of the skin by contributing to skin softness and smoothness. Humectants, such as glycerine, sponge up water, drawing it up from the deeper layers of the skin to the skin’s surface. Finally, occludents, such as paraffin oil, hold water in and create a protective barrier over the skin, slowing the evaporation of water from the surface of the skin. [2,7-11] This means it won’t clog your pores when used on any part of your skin. Creams that have this quality are not just good for oily skin types but also very dry skin. While the Qv wash is targeted at people with dermatological issues such as psoriasis and eczema the Cetaphil is more to prevent skin issues such as acne by providing a long-lasting deep clean of the pores.
