“Provides instant hydration, leaving the skin immediately more moisturized, soft, and supple.”
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:
anhydroxylitol, 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: squalane, cholesterol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine

“Expertly formulated to rejuvenate and renew your skin, making it look and feel up to 10 years younger by increasing the speed at which skin cells replicate.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.

Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide ap 0.15% - 0.25%, ceramide eop 0.20% - 0.35%, phytosphingosine 0.20% - 0.40% and ceramide np 0.25% - 0.50%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Humectants (anhydroxylitol 0.55% - 0.85%, xylitylglucoside 0.65% - 1.00% and glycerin 3.80% - 4.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
