Embryolisse Embryoderme Face Cream

Judging from the ingredient list, "Embryolisse - Embryoderme Face Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Embryolisse - Embryoderme Face Cream ticks this box. Glycerin, hydrolyzed collagen, aloe barbadensis extract, butylene glycol and caprylyl 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). Linoleic acid, paraffinum liquidum, glycine soja oil, hydrolyzed collagen and linolenic acid in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

• this moisturizer includes a form of retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.30% - 0.60%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
• We love that there is also Linoleic Acid in this moisturizer (0.65% - 0.95%). Linoleic Acid is one of the skin's natural emollients. It supports the skin barrier and can even help reduce clogged pores.
