Ingredient callouts
- This product contains acids (lactic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, lactic acid 0.20% - 0.35% and lactic acid 0.20% - 0.35%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
- Humectants (glycerin 0.30% - 0.55%, urea 0.25% - 0.45%, inositol 0.25% - 0.45%, glycine 0.25% - 0.45%, fructose 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.45%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium pca 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium lactate 0.25% - 0.45%, glycerin 0.25% - 0.45%, glycerin 0.25% - 0.45%, urea 0.20% - 0.40%, inositol 0.20% - 0.40%, glycine 0.20% - 0.35%, fructose 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium pca 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium lactate 0.20% - 0.40% and glycerin 4.00% - 4.90%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Works for
Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (vitis vinifera seed extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
A plant extract that contains resveratrol and other anti-oxidant compounds that can help neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation in skin and even out its tone. Can be also used to stabilize the product formulation
A plant extract that can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help to reduce inflammation
A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. Can contain volalite oils and be irritating
A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Can be irritating

Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin, including inflamed acne. It can be irritating
A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.
An emollient that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Might have some weak anti-oxidant properties

What does the product description say?
Hydra Comfort
Source: From product name
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:
fructose, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea
