MoisturizingParaffinum liquidum, Limnanthes alba seed oil + 13 moreStrong evidence
“Treat yourself with EXCIA EMBEAGE Cream Parfait, a luxurious moisturizing cream infused with our signature blend of high-performance ingredients.”
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, saccharomyces lysate extract.
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: dimethicone, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Resveratrol, Undaria pinnatifida extract + 5 moreStrong evidence
This product contains antioxidants (resveratrol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · Centella asiatica leaf extract, Resveratrol + 3 moreModerate evidence
This product contains centella asiatica leaf extract, resveratrol. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
