Targeting the skin–nerve connection to support sensitive skin and barrier resilience
Why choose NIKKOL LECINOL® MFL?
Skin sensitivity goes beyond a weakened barrier. Altered cutaneous innervation and excessive nerve fibre elongation can contribute to heightened skin reactivity, discomfort and itch.
NIKKOL LECINOL® MFL is a multifunctional lysolecithin containing lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) as its active component. Its distinctive neurocosmetic approach targets cutaneous nerve regulation, while simultaneously strengthening the skin barrier.
INCI: Lysolecithin
Key benefits
- Neurocosmetic action helping reduce skin sensitivity and reactivity by supporting the regulation of cutaneous innervation
- Strengthens the skin barrier by promoting epidermal differentiation (keratinocyte cells maturation) and supporting ceramide synthesis
- Helps reduce inflammation associated with external stimuli
- Improves hydration, TEWL, redness and skin roughness
