MoisturizingUbiquinone, Beta-glucan + 12 moreGood evidence
“From Elizabeth Arden, the creator several iconic and bestselling fragrance collections, White Tea Body Water Cream is a refreshing, luxurious and silky formula that melts into skin, leaving it hydrated for up to 48 hours.”
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, butylene glycol.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Ubiquinone, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 3 moreStrong evidence
