What the product description says
“De Mamiel Intense Nurture Antioxidant Elixir also contains hyaluronic acid, which provides the highest possible form of hydration for the skin, and marine samphire, which helps stimulate collagen for a more radiant complexion.”

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: anhydroxylitol, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cocos nucifera oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 3

Product summary

"de Mamiel - Intense Nurture Antioxidant Elixir by De Mamiel" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory and Moisturizing

This moisturizer could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
