Revaginal Foam medical device for itching, irritation and intimate hygiene
Intimate itching, burning, vulvo-vaginal irritation and pH imbalances are very common issues that can occur in different situations, such as fungal infections, bacterial vaginosis, stress, use of harsh cleansers, sports activity, or alterations of the vaginal flora. These conditions can affect daily comfort and increase the sensitivity of the vulvo-perineal mucosa.
Maintaining the correct vaginal pH balance is one of the key elements of female intimate wellbeing. Alterations of the vaginal microbiota and of the physiological barrier can in fact promote bacterial or fungal proliferation and increase the risk of recurring discomfort.
In this context, it can be helpful to use specific cleansers formulated to respect the physiology of the intimate area. Revaginal Foam is a medical device in mousse form based on boric acid and lactic acid, developed for daily vulvo-perineal hygiene and to support the restoration of the physiological pH of the intimate area.
Thanks to its ready-to-use foam formulation, Revaginal Foam fits into a gentle and practical approach to female intimate hygiene, contributing to the wellbeing of the vulvo-perineal mucosa and to protection against external factors.
Intimate irritation and vaginal pH imbalance: causes and symptoms
Female intimate irritation can have various causes and can present with symptoms of varying persistence. Among the most common factors are:
- alteration of the vaginal flora
- use of harsh cleansers
- fungal or bacterial infections
- excessive sweating
- chafing from sports activity
- stress and hormonal changes
- prolonged use of antibiotics
These conditions can promote vaginal pH imbalances and increase the sensitivity of the intimate mucosa.
The most frequent symptoms include:
- intimate itching
- redness
- vulvo-vaginal burning
- perianal irritation
- feeling of dryness or discomfort
- local hypersensitivity
In the presence of alterations of the vaginal microbiota, maintaining a correct physiological pH can help support the natural balance of the intimate environment.
What Revaginal Foam is and what it is used for
Revaginal Foam is a ready-to-use cleansing mousse formulated for daily vulvo-perineal hygiene and to support female intimate wellbeing.
The product is indicated as an aid in the treatment and prevention of minor intimate discomforts such as:
- itching
- redness
- mild burning
- hypersensitivity phenomena
- vaginal conditions, including of fungal origin
The formulation is also designed as a support during antifungal treatments or in any situation where normal intimate hygiene with water is not possible.
Boric acid and lactic acid: vaginal pH rebalancing
The main ingredients of Revaginal Foam are:
- boric acid
- lactic acid
Lactic acid is a substance naturally present in the vaginal environment and helps maintain the physiological pH of the intimate mucosa. A correct pH balance in fact helps create an environment unfavorable to the proliferation of unwanted microorganisms.
Boric acid, on the other hand, is used in formulations dedicated to intimate wellbeing to support microbiological balance and vulvo-vaginal comfort.
The combination of these ingredients promotes rapid pH correction and contributes to the natural restoration of the delicate vulvo-perineal balance.
Chlorhexidine, niacinamide and wheat proteins: protection and comfort
The formulation also contains ingredients with a protective and soothing action, useful for the wellbeing of the intimate mucosa.
These include:
- chlorhexidine digluconate
- niacinamide
- hydrolyzed wheat proteins
- sodium PCA
- glycerol
Chlorhexidine is used to support intimate hygiene and to help limit bacterial proliferation. Niacinamide helps support the skin barrier and the comfort of the mucosa, while hydrolyzed wheat proteins contribute to the hydration and protection of sensitive skin.
The mousse is also formulated without the need for immediate rinsing, a feature that makes it practical even away from home or while traveling.
Scientific evidence on vaginal pH and boric acid
Vaginal pH balance is a fundamental element in maintaining the physiological flora and the natural protection of the intimate mucosa. Several scientific studies have shown how alterations of the microbiota and vaginal acidity can promote recurring bacterial and fungal infections.
This evidence supports the use of formulations dedicated to pH rebalancing and to the wellbeing of the vulvo-vaginal mucosa in conditions associated with irritation and alterations of the intimate flora.
