“The supercharged formula visibly smooths and tightens the appearance of pores for skin that feels hydrated and baby soft.”
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, peg-8.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, nicotiana sylvestris leaf cell culture.
“There's more? Sweet almond oil, rich in omega 3, keeps your complexion feeling moisturised and softened, while rosehip oil and vitamin C keeps skin bright and balanced.”
