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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

glycerin 4.1% - 5.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

lactose 0.1% - 0.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin

olea europaea fruit oil 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Soothing and gently exfoliate, hydrate softer skin.

Source: Yesstyle

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
