What the product description says
“Dermelect Makeover Ridge Filler achieves beautifully natural nails by multitasking to cleverly conceal nail imperfections with a natural pink hue while treating them with protein, vitamins and much needed moisture.”
Source: Skinstore

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethicone, batyl alcohol.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
