This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, caprylyl glycol.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

glycerin 3.4% - 5.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

chlorella vulgaris extract 0.05% - 0.25%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that can help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties

caprylyl glycol 0.5% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Can also be used after exfoliating or using a mask.

Source: Feelunique

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
