Based on the ingredient list, "Enaskin - Hibiscus and Honey Firming Cream" can work well for skin moisturization.
Ingredient callouts
This moisturizer also contains Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.40% - 2.10% and dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 2.00% - 2.90%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: butyrospermum parkii butter and jojoba oil

This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate.
These ingredients 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.
A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called
"humectants":
betaine, honey extract.
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: acetyl hexapeptide-8, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate
A sugar-derived compound that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might be able to stimulate synthesis of skin's own moisturizing factors, but solid research is lacking. It could be irritating
