MoisturizingCaprylic/capric triglyceride, Helianthus annuus seed oil + 12 moreWorks
“Hydrating humectants, nourishing plant oils, and clinically-proven apple saccharides deeply moisturize, boosting skin hydration by 88% within 30 minutes, leaving your eyes feeling soothed, plumped, and revitalized.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.

Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.
