Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "BECCA - Skin Love Elixir" works well for improving skin hydration The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Acetyl glucosamine, algae extract, faex, glycerin and sodium hyaluronate in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Algae extract, squalane, mel, bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane and caprylyl glycol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: titanium dioxide, ergothioneine, yeast extract, yeast extract and sigesbeckia orientalis extract
