Facial skin care
All Retterspitz facial skincare products are developed using high-quality ingredients and consistently doing without any unnecessary additives. Specifically, this means: petroleum-based raw materials, sensitising odourants and problematic emulsifiers are all left out, as are unnecessary preservatives and raw materials of animal origin. As is alcohol (ethanol), which can dry out the skin. All products have successfully undergone dermatological and safety tests. Retterspitz skincare products provide the skin with what it needs for a radiant complexion. They are especially skin-friendly, protect the skin, and do not cause any additional irritation or intolerances.
The following natural raw materials form the basis of the cream products:
- Almond oil: has lipid-replenishing properties, calms irritated skin
- Olive oil: is high in monounsaturated fatty acids and cell-protecting vitamin E
- Cocoa butter: has a nourishing, moisturising effect
- Jojoba oil: from the fruit of a Central American desert plant, is rich in minerals and vitamin E
- Avocado oil: very rich in vitamins, absorbed well by the skin
- Cell-protecting and antioxidant vitamin E complements the base complex of emulsions
Each product also contains ingredients specific to the required area of application. Everything is produced in compliance with the applicable international pharmaceutical standards.Recommended Retterspitz productsAdditional tipsFacial skin care

Feeling of fullness
A feeling of fullness is the result of bacteria, for which there are number of different possible causes. It is most often caused by sweet foods or by meals that are too large, too fatty, or eaten too quickly. And there are also certain foods that encourage flatulence, such as cabbage, onions and pulses. The liquid for oral use "Retterspitz Innerlich" should be taken three to five times a day. The acidity of the gastric juice is balanced and the complaints subside.
Recommended Retterspitz productsAdditional tips- take your time when eating: thoroughly chew your food, take small bites, don’t talk too much and eat manageable portions
- instead of raw food (e.g. salad, raw vegetables), eat blanched or steamed vegetables
- avoid rich, fatty or sweet dishes, foods that cause flatulence (onions, pulses and cabbage) and carbonated drinks
