Product Summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "Anua - Buy Anua Heartleaf 70% Daily Lotion Mini Australia - Korean Skin Care, Sun Care and Cosmetics" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Anua - Buy Anua Heartleaf 70% Daily Lotion Mini Australia - Korean Skin Care, Sun Care and Cosmetics ticks this box. Arginine, betaine, fructooligosaccharides, glycerin and glyceryl glucoside 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). Ceramide np, arginine, squalane, cetearyl alcohol and hydrogenated poly (c6-14 olefin) 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.
Ingredient callouts

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