MoisturizingZinc pca, Copper pca + 11 moreGood evidence
“This lightweight formula with Matipure, Phlorogine,Oubaku, Licorice and Vitamin E, provides hydration to skin's dry areas as it matifies oily zones . See More”
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:
copper pca, 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, cetyl alcohol.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Imperata cylindrica root extract, Zinc pca + 1 moreModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (imperata cylindrica root extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
