Description

Apothekari More Than Lip Service Vulvar & Vaginal Moisturizer (40 g/1.4 oz) provides fast, soothing, long lasting and hormone-free relief from the symptoms of dryness. Reduces burning, itching & painful intercourse, allowing you to embrace life again.

Benefits of Apothekari Vaginal Moisturizer:

• Long-lasting moisture, leaving vulvar & vaginal tissue hydrated and discomfort-free
• Stays on applied area, but can be washed off easily with water if desired
• Hormone free, gluten free and free from other ingredients that you may wish to avoid in your personal care products.

Apothekari More Than Lip Service Vaginal Moisturizer contains two ingredients – hyaluronic acid and vitamin E – a combination shown in clinical studies to help provide significant relief from vulvar and vaginal dryness. Hyaluronic acid is an ingredient that helps to keep skin and tissues moist and that is made naturally by our bodies. However, its production declines as we age. This moisturizer is designed to replenish our levels of hyaluronic acid, which has been proven to significantly reduce the symptoms of vaginal dryness/atrophy¹. A clinical study concluded that hyaluronic acid could be used in place of hormonal treatments to manage the symptoms of vaginal dryness².

The formulation also contains a unique ingredient that allows it to coat dry skin cells, providing long-lasting moisture – up to 24 hours longer than other products! The lightweight coating creates a bond with vaginal and vulvar skin and can be washed off with water, so it stays on unless you don’t want it to.

Just like treating dry skin on your face and body, a moisturizer can help to manage dryness on vulvar and vaginal tissue as well. Vaginal dryness may be a problem for women at any age, although it’s more common in older women, especially after menopause when levels of the estrogen hormone drop. Whatever the cause, vaginal dryness can be extremely uncomfortable, leading to itching, burning, and painful intercourse. Many women think they must just put up with it, but fortunately, it’s treatable!

Use externally to relieve the symptoms of vulvar and vaginal dryness.
