“As with any good body cream, it grants pl-uh-enty of hydration up to 24-hours worth, in fact without feeling greasy or sticky. Safe to say, were obsessed.”
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:
anhydroxylitol, arginine.
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: arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
Anti-aging4 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“Key Ingredients Lipo Care Technology , A proprietary synergism of three slimming actives that fight cellulite by targeting fat from our body's excess deposits and breaking down fatty acids to reveal more refined and firmer-looking skin Certified Organic Green Tea Seed Oil , A powerhouse antioxidant, Green Tea promotes collagen synthesis making legs look smooth and firm Spirulina Maxima Powder Chinese , also known as sea-algae, this skin-saving seaweed improves skin elasticity and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles Caffeine , Antioxidant properties of caffeine defend skin against free radicals and premature aging.”
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 - dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
