MoisturizingParaffinum liquidum, Dimethicone + 16 moreWorks well
“Make up meets skin care, BY TERRY's Cellularose Moisturizing CC Cream is a light-to-medium coverage complexion hero that promises to hydrate your skin as it blurs imperfections and enhances your radiance.”
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:
carnosine, glycerin.
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, glycine soja oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Carnosine, Tocopheryl acetate + 1 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (carnosine) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-agingSide benefit the brand mentions · Carnosine, Tocopherol + 1 moreMay help
“Its supple, elastic texture adapts to all complexions, and its cocktail of skin-loving ingredients provide anti-aging and protective benefits.”
This product contains carnosine. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
