Dr Sebagh Replenishing Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "Dr Sebagh - Replenishing Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Dr Sebagh - Replenishing Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (urea, hydrolyzed collagen, sodium chondroitin sulfate, hydrolyzed soy protein and caprylyl glycol) 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). Hydrolyzed collagen, oleyl erucate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone and helianthus annuus seed oil 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.
