"Cetaphil - Body Moisturizer by Cetaphil, Hydrating Moisturizing Cream for Dry to Very Dry, Sensitive Skin, NEW" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin and pantolactone) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Petrolatum, dimethicone, dimethiconol, helianthus annuus seed oil and cetyl alcohol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

glycerin, pantolactone.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses

dimethicone, dimethiconol.

the hydration level: panthenol, petrolatum
