Based on the ingredients included, "Avène - Rich Skin Recovery Cream Very Sensitive Skin" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Avène - Rich Skin Recovery Cream Very Sensitive Skin ticks this box. Humectants in this product (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). Paraffinum liquidum, squalane, cyclopentasiloxane, cyclohexasiloxane and glyceryl stearate 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.

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.

moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels

squalane, cyclopentasiloxane.
