“The Hydra-Infusion Complex replenishes skin moisture whilst Aqua Shuttle technology uses a blend of algae and humectants to maintain the skin's hydration.”
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:
anhydroxylitol, copper pca.
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: chondrus crispus extract, punica granatum seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea
“Anti-Ageing Ultra Smart Pro-Collagen Aqua Infusion Mask”
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.
