BB LABORATORIES PH Moist Charge Gel Cream

MoisturizingGlycerin, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 9 moreWorks
“The new Bb LABORATORIES PH Moist Charge Cream is a multi-functional moisturizing repair cream.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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, limnanthes alba seed oil.

“A variety of beauty essences work together to provide repairing and moisturizing effects, creating a supple, firm, youthful and healthy skin.”
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.
This ingredient yeast extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

“Improve complexion, whilst diminishing dark spots.”
This product contains ingredients (yeast extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Yeast extract, Limnanthes alba seed oil + 6 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (yeast extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
