Skin Deep Repair: How Damage Happens and How SVR Cicavit+ Speeds Up Healing - French Beauty Co.

Your skin is more than just a surface — it’s a complex, intelligent organ made up of layers working in harmony to protect you. But daily life can be tough on skin, and whether it’s a minor scrape, post-treatment irritation, or recurring dryness, damage to the skin is incredibly common. What matters is how quickly (and how well) your skin recovers.


The Skin: A 3-Layered Powerhouse

Your skin is made up of three primary layers — each with a specific role in protecting your body and keeping you healthy:



1. Epidermis – The Barrier Layer

This is the outermost layer — your skin’s first line of defence. It’s rich in keratinocytes and natural lipids that keep moisture in and irritants out. The stratum corneum, its top layer, acts as a shield against bacteria, UV rays, and pollution.

Damage here can occur from sunburn, over-exfoliation, allergic reactions, or harsh weather.

2. Dermis – The Support Layer

Beneath the epidermis lies the dermis, packed with collagen, elastin, blood vessels, and nerve endings. This layer is responsible for your skin’s structure, elasticity, and the healing response when an injury occurs.

Acne scarring, cuts, and deeper cosmetic treatments often affect this layer.

3. Hypodermis – The Cushioning Layer

This bottom layer contains fat and connective tissue that cushions your body and regulates temperature. While not as exposed, severe wounds or burns can affect the hypodermis.

When skin is compromised at this depth, it requires serious care to recover properly.


How Skin Gets Damaged

Everyday life can chip away at your skin’s resilience — and even small disruptions to the barrier function can lead to a cascade of problems:

Cuts, scrapes, and minor wounds

  • Post-aesthetic procedures (e.g. laser, peels, microneedling)

  • Rashes or irritation from friction or clothing

  • Shaving, waxing, and ingrown hairs

  • Environmental aggressors like pollution, windburn, and UV rays

  • Chronic dryness or itching, especially in babies or those with sensitive skin

When skin is damaged, it enters a natural inflammatory and repair cycle. But this process can be slowed by age, genetics, health, environment, or compromised skin flora — leading to longer healing times, increased discomfort, or even scarring.

3. For Skin Irritations & Flare-Ups

Eczema patches, itchy insect bites, shaving irritation, or chapped skin from wind and cold — Cicavit+ immediately soothes and forms a protective barrier to help skin heal comfortably.

4. Everyday Mishaps

Paper cuts, minor burns, abrasions, redness after wearing a mask — life happens, and so does irritation. Keep a tube handy for quick healing without residue or stickiness.

5. Post-Sun or Seasonal Skin Stress

After too much sun exposure, cold winds in winter, or even pollution, Cicavit+ calms and repairs stressed or sensitised skin, restoring comfort and resilience fast.

5. Post-Tattoo Care

New tattoos need hydration, barrier protection, and gentle soothing to heal well. Cicavit+ is ideal for supporting tattoo recovery, helping to reduce itching, flaking, and redness while maintaining ink vibrancy.
