MoisturizingOleyl erucate, Sodium hyaluronate + 9 moreGood evidence
“Moisturise thirsty skin with Dr Sebagh High Maintenance Cream a soothing formula that promotes anti-ageing action deep within the skin’s layers while leaving a radiant, smooth youthful appearance on the surface.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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, oleyl erucate.
Anti-agingMagnesium aluminum silicate, TocopherolLimited evidence
“This pampering and potent formula contains ingredients that firm, tone and re-texturise the skin, diminishing the effects of ageing.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - magnesium aluminum silicate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
