APIVITA Express Purifying Face Mask for Oily Skin - Propolis
Works for
MoisturizingPanthenol, Ethylhexyl cocoate + 7 moreWorks well
“Powered by a revitalising blend of Heilmoor Clay and Lemon Essential Oil, the refreshing treatment effectively eliminates excess oil and impurities without stripping moisture for a clear, shine-free complexion.”
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:
panthenol, caprylyl glycol.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, ethylhexyl cocoate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
