“Daily Moisturising Yogurt Body Cream Apricot & Honey Scent”
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:
avena sativa kernel flour, 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: dimethicone, avena sativa kernel flour.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: petrolatum

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, "Aveeno - Daily Moisturising Yogurt Body Cream Apricot & Honey Scent" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Aveeno - Daily Moisturising Yogurt Body Cream Apricot & Honey Scent ticks this box. Humectants in this product (avena sativa kernel flour and glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (petrolatum, avena sativa kernel flour, dimethicone, cetyl alcohol and isopropyl palmitate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
