MoisturizingDimethicone, Glycerin + 24 moreWorks
“With sea water, algae and hyaluronic acid to soothe, moisturize and replenish dry skin.”
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:
betaine, biosaccharide gum-1.
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, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Anti-agingDipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, Hydrolyzed ginseng saponins + 1 moreNot delivered
“The herbal formula is potent in anti-aging antioxidants and replenishes and moisturizes skin, resulting in a more youthful, supple and radiant complexion.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Stearyl glycyrrhetinate, Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract + 1 moreMay help
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: glycyrrhiza glabra root extract, stearyl glycyrrhetinate.
