MoisturizingHydrogenated poly(c6-14 olefin), Squalane + 10 moreWorks
“A complexion stick with buildable coverage that visibly balances the skin tone and hydrates.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
