Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Clinique - Happy Gelato Cream For Hands" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Clinique - Happy Gelato Cream For Hands ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, sucrose and caprylyl glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (linoleic acid, astrocaryum murumuru seed butter, cholesterol, limnanthes alba seed oil and caprylic/capric triglyceride) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
