Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Collistar - Fresh Moisturising Gelée Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Collistar - Fresh Moisturising Gelée Cream ticks this box. Urea, fructose, glycerin, saccharide hydrolysate and sodium hyaluronate in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Dimethicone, caprylyl glycol and pentylene glycol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: allantoin

What does the product description say?

Fresh Moisturising Gelée Cream

Source: From product name

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: fructose, glycerin.

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, caprylyl glycol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea

sodium lactate 0.15% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product

trehalose 1.5% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin

urea 1.1% - 1.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Naturally present in skin (urea makes up about 7% of natural moisturizing factors in skin). Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Also has a positive effect on the skin barrier beyond the humectant action. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations
