What the product description says
“This soothing, plumping peel-off mask delivers a burst of replenishing moisture whenever thirsty skin needs it most.”
Source: Erno Laszlo

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": panthenol, propylene glycol.

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: panthenol

PanthenolHero· HumectantEffect: HighHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function~0.2–0.75%

What the product description says
“After sun, travel, pollution or other stressors deplete your skin, natural hydrators cool it down and deliver vital nutrients, refreshing and filling fine lines, so skin looks younger and re-energized.”
Source: Erno Laszlo

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
