What the product description says

“Dewy Face Cream”

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: 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, cetyl alcohol.

AnhydroxylitolKey activeEffect: HighHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrir function~0.45–1.1%

GlycerinKey activeEffect: HighOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant~3.8–5.7%

Polyglycerin-3Key activeEffect: HighHelps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin~1.4–2.1%

Sodium hyaluronateKey activeEffect: HighOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin~0.1–0.4%

SqualaneKey activeEffect: HighAn oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.~2.8–4.1%

XylitylglucosideKey activeEffect: HighHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function~0.95–1.45%

Ethylhexyl palmitateKey activeEffect: MediumAn emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture~0.85–1.25%

GlucoseKey activeEffect: MediumHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function~0.1–0.45%

TrihydroxystearinKey activeEffect: MediumHelps soften the upper layer of the skin and improve the product texture~0.1–0.35%

Cetyl alcoholKey activeEffect: MediumA non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together~0.5–1.1%

Coco-caprylate/caprateKey activeEffect: MediumHelps to soften the upper layer of the skin without creating a greasy texture~2–3%

Caprylyl glycolEffect: LowHelps preserve products and creates a nice product texture~0.35–0.8%

Butylene glycolEffect: LowUsed to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin~0.2–0.8%

TocopherolEffect: Low, below effective dosePure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself~0.05–0.25%

Camellia sinensis leaf extractEffect: Low, below effective doseCan contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation~0.05–0.2%
