Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Erborian - Glow Cream" works well for improving skin hydration This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (arginine, cyclomethicone and butylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin.

Cyclomethicone, arginine, phenyl trimethicone, squalane and cetearyl alcohol 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.
