MoisturizingCetearyl alcohol, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 7 moreWorks
“Working to revive dull and dehydrated skin, the multi-tasking daily moisturiser works to hydrate and prime the skin for makeup, whilst blurring the appearance of imperfections, minimising the look of pores and keeping mid-day shine at bay.”
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.
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, helianthus annuus seed oil.
