MoisturizingHydrogenated starch hydrolysate, Glycerin + 9 moreWorks
“With calming rosewater to heal and hydrate, alongside sugar cane extract – a rich source of natural gycolic acid to gently refine and retexturise – this also behaves like a ‘magnet’ for harmful pollutants to deep-clean and swiftly ‘reset’.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate.
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).

“A weekly M.O.T. to help prevent congestion, this attracts the oils and grime that lead to blemishes, while gently dissolving the ‘scurf’ that can compromise radiance – revealing a fresh, plump and ‘bouncy’ complexion that radiates health and becomes much less susceptible to breakouts.”
