“Pure White Essential Moisturising Serum”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, saccharide isomerate.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

“Infuse dull and fatigued skin with the EISENBERG Pure White Essential Moisturising Serum ; a powerful anti-ageing treatment that delivers a refreshed and revitalised looking complexion instantly.”
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.

An 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)

Product summary
Based on the ingredients included, "EISENBERG - Pure White Essential Moisturising Serum" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. EISENBERG - Pure White Essential Moisturising Serum ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, saccharide isomerate, lactose and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (caprylyl glycol and whey protein) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 4.00% - 4.90%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
