Judging from the ingredient list, "Bioderma - Sebium Hydra Moisturising Compensating Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Bioderma - Sebium Hydra Moisturising Compensating Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (fructooligosaccharides, glycerin, mannitol, rhamnose and propylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Ceramide 3, paraffinum liquidum, ethylhexyl palmitate and isohexadecane 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.
