Ingredient callouts
This product contains acids (lactic acid 0.55% - 1.25%). 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.
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 2.60% - 3.90% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.15%, sucrose 1.90% - 2.80%, panthenol 2.60% - 3.90% and glycerin 4.10% - 6.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Price

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called
"humectants":
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This
is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for
ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: panthenol
Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
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.
