“Used after cleansing, it fits easily into a daily skincare routine as a dedicated moisturiser for morning and evening.”
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:
glycerin, saccharide isomerate.
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, cetyl alcohol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
Anti-blemishNo ingredient credited for this claimNo support
“The formula works to reduce the appearance of blemishes such as spots and blackheads, while helping to calm associated irritation, making it a thoughtful choice for skin that often looks shiny or feels out of balance.”
