Product Summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "belif - The True Cream-Moisturizing Bomb" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Belif - The True Cream-Moisturizing Bomb ticks this box. Urea, glycerin, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate and bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane 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). Saccharomyces/imperata cylindrica root ferment extract, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, macadamia ternifolia seed oil and bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane 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: oatmeal extract and stearic acidIrritation risk

What does the product description say?
The True Cream-Moisturizing Bomb
Source: From product name
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, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate.
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: dimethicone, saccharomyces/imperata cylindrica root ferment extract.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea
A plant extract that can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help to reduce inflammation
Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
Naturally present in skin (urea makes up about 7% of natural moisturizing factors in skin). Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Also has a positive effect on the skin barrier beyond the humectant action. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations
Yeast extract obtained from a plant root (cogon grass). It works as an excellent humectant attracting water to the upper layer of the skin. Can have some anti-inflammatory effect
A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can add sweet taste to lip products
A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus out of soybean. The fermented product helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and has anti-bacterial properties. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation and could be helpful in evening out skin tone, but studies are lacking
Plant oil from nuts that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Contains a high concentration of oleic acid that can weaken skin's barrier function and increase water-loss while enhancing penetration of other ingredients
An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
A plant extract that might have an anti-inflammatory effect in skin
A silicone that serves as an emollient. Helps create a nice non-greasy feels
A type of silicone that helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture
Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture
