MoisturizingDimethicone, Glycerin + 11 moreWorks
“An iconic formula, elevated to new heights. The best-selling gel foundation known for its fresh, natural finish and botanical skincare benefits now boasts an even more benefit-driven formula: Infused with a plant-based retinol alternative, hydrating Spirodela Polyrhiza extract and soothing Chaga Mushroom extract, it leaves skin looking flawless and fresh.”
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:
glycerin, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate.
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, diethylhexyl succinate.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Pyridoxine hcl + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
