COSRX HYALURONIC ACID INTENSIVE CREAM

Judging from the ingredient list, "COSRX - HYALURONIC ACID INTENSIVE CREAM" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. COSRX - HYALURONIC ACID INTENSIVE CREAM ticks this box. Panthenol, arginine, betaine, glycerin 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). Arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil and cetearyl alcohol 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.
