“My Essentials Moisturisation Face Cream 24H Rich”
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:
glycerin, saccharide isomerate.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, prunus armeniaca kernel oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea
This product contains serine. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

An emollient that helps soften the skin
More about Prunus armeniaca kernel oilActs as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
More about PropanediolUsed to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize the product formulation
More about Polyacrylate-13Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
More about Saccharide isomerateA gelling agent that thickens the product consistency and leaves the skin with a velvety finish
More about Hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymerAn aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients
More about ParfumOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
More about GlycerinA sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin
More about TrehaloseNaturally present in skin (urea makes up about 7% of natural moisturizing factors in skin). Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Also has a positive effect on the skin barrier beyond the humectant action. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations
More about UreaHelps oil and water mix together
More about Sorbitan isostearateAn exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
More about Lactic acidAn amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
More about SerineUsed to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
More about Pentylene glycolPure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
More about TocopherolA great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function
More about Helianthus annuus seed oilUsed to thicken product formulation. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
More about AlginHelps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
More about Caprylyl glycolHelps adjust the product pH and stabilize the formulation
More about Disodium phosphateHelps to create a nice product texture and spread the product more easily on the skin
More about Glyceryl polyacrylateCreates a thin drying film on the skin resulting in a short-term tightening effect
More about PullulanOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
More about Sodium hyaluronateCan work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
More about Citric acidHelps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products
More about Sodium citrateA typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

Based on the ingredients included, "Dermagor - My Essentials Moisturisation Face Cream 24H Rich" 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. Humectants in this product (urea, glycerin, saccharide isomerate, sodium hyaluronate and soluble collagen) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Prunus armeniaca kernel oil, helianthus annuus seed oil, caprylyl glycol and pentylene glycol 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.
