Anti-oxidationHydroxydecyl ubiquinoyl dipalmitoyl glycerate, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 4 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (dimethylmethoxy chromanol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - camellia sinensis leaf extract, hydroxydecyl ubiquinoyl dipalmitoyl glycerate also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
MoisturizingUrea, Cyclopentasiloxane + 13 moreWorks well
“Idebenone Technology and thiotaine amino acids protect surface skin from oxidation while bamboo extract and Lipochroman 6 fortify skin's natural moisture barrier.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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: urea
