Darphin Hydraskin Light All-Day Skin-Hydrating Cream-Gel

Based on the ingredients included, "Darphin - Hydraskin Light All-Day Skin-Hydrating Cream-Gel" works well for moisturizing the skin. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Panthenol, glycerin, imperata cylindrica root extract, sodium hyaluronate and butylene glycol 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). Emollients in this formulation (dimethicone, dimethiconol, squalane, cetyl palmitate and hydrogenated vegetable oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: caprylic/capric triglyceride and dipentaerythrityl hexacaprylate/hexacaprate
