Ahava Essential Day Moisturizer - Very Dry

Based on the ingredients included, "Ahava - Essential Day Moisturizer - Very Dry" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Ahava - Essential Day Moisturizer - Very Dry ticks this box. Urea, alanine, glycerin, glycine and saccharide hydrolysate in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone, cetyl alcohol, ethylhexyl palmitate and caprylyl glycol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
