action
Reconstituent. It stimulates the corneal regenerative activity. Moisturizing.
Vitamin A prevents the synthesis of high molecular weight keratin, responsible for the formation of a dry and rigid epithelium. It favors the synthesis of glycoproteins that moisture the corneal epithelium. Vitamin E has antioxidant properties, counteracting the damage of free radicals by protecting the DNA from their mutagenic action. It contributes to make cell aging slower. Hydrolyzed casein has essential amino acids, including glutamic acid, necessary for wound and epithelium healing.
