“Clarins' Lotus Balancing & Hydrating Face Treatment Oil is a purifying face oil formulated with 100% pure plant extracts to hydrate, tone and visibly tighten pores for oily or combination skin.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
