Beekman 1802 Milk RX Advanced Better Aging Cream

Judging from the ingredient list, "Beekman 1802 - Milk RX Advanced Better Aging Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Beekman 1802 - Milk RX Advanced Better Aging Cream ticks this box. Glycerin, hydrolyzed collagen, polyglutamic acid, lactose and butylene glycol 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). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns, cholesterol and hydrolyzed collagen) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
