What the product description says
“It moisturizes thanks to honey, beeswax, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, olive oil and grape seed oil”
Source: Lookfantastic US

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: arginine, glycerin.

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: arginine, butyrospermum parkii butter.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: isosorbide dicaprylate, panthenol

“It reduces the appearance of wrinkles, while offering a firmer-looking skin and lifted contours thanks to thanks to Santorini vine polyphenols”
Source: Lookfantastic US

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

Product summary

"APIVITA - WINE ELIXIR Wrinkle and Firmness Lift Cream Rich Texture" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. APIVITA - WINE ELIXIR Wrinkle and Firmness Lift Cream Rich Texture ticks this box. Panthenol, arginine, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and honey 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). Isosorbide dicaprylate, vitis vinifera seed oil, arginine, beeswax and butyrospermum parkii butter 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.

Irritation risk

This moisturizer contains a bunch of common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide any known benefit for the skin. It might not be the best choice if your skin is sensitive.
