Epione Podiatry Reductione II – A preparation designed to lower the pH of the skin and nails 200ml

Reductione II is a professional preparation developed to help lower the pH of the skin and nails. It is designed to restore the proper pH balance of the feet and nail area in cases of elevated pH, while supporting the skin’s natural protective functions.

Maintaining the correct pH is essential for preserving a balanced skin microbiome, which plays a key role in protecting the skin against external factors. When the microbiome is weakened, the skin’s defence against bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms may be reduced, increasing the risk of imbalance and infection.

Reductione II helps prepare the skin and nails for further stages of professional treatment, improving the absorption and deeper penetration of subsequently applied products. This is particularly beneficial in care protocols for skin and nail conditions associated with fungal and bacterial imbalance, hyperhidrosis, eczema, and psoriasis.

The formula is enriched with green tea extract, which provides soothing and anti-inflammatory support. The carefully selected composition offers antifungal-supportive, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, soothing, and anti-allergic properties.

Active Ingredients & Their Benefits

• Green Tea Extract – Rich in tannins, polyphenols, alkaloids, B-group vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin P, and mineral salts. It provides antioxidant and anti-allergic benefits while helping to soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. It is particularly valuable in preparing the skin before the application of exfoliating products.

• Salicylic Acid – Known for its keratolytic properties, salicylic acid helps soften and dissolve hardened epidermis and keratinised nail material. It supports the removal of built-up skin and nail layers, improving the penetration of subsequently applied preparations. It also offers anti-inflammatory and antibacterial support while helping to remove impurities and excess sebum.

• Glycerin – Supports the rebuilding of the skin’s natural protective barrier, helping the skin retain moisture and protect itself from water loss.

Reductione II as Support for Acid Therapy with Acidum IV

Reductione II is used as the first step in treatments involving the professional antifungal acid preparation Acidum IV. It helps initiate the treatment process by lowering the pH of the skin and nails while supporting the removal of the hydrolipid barrier and impurities from the stratum corneum and its structures before the application of acid-based products.

This preparation facilitates deeper penetration of acid formulations into the nail plate and epidermis, improving treatment effectiveness. Thanks to the addition of green tea extract, it also helps soothe the skin and reduce irritation during the procedure.

How to Use

Apply Reductione II to the skin and/or nails where pH reduction is required, especially in areas affected by pathological changes. The preparation is intended to prepare the treatment area before further professional care steps.
