Judging from the ingredient list, "Estée Lauder - Moisturiser Nightwear Plus Anti-Oxidant Night Detox Creme" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Estée Lauder - Moisturiser Nightwear Plus Anti-Oxidant Night Detox Creme ticks this box. Humectants in this product (urea, algae extract, artemia extract, glycerin and saccharomyces lysate extract) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (algae extract, cholesterol, butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone and dimethiconol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, stearic acid, dipentaerythrityl hexacaprylate/hexacaprate, ergothioneine, lecithin, linoleic acid and laminaria saccharina extract

Moisturiser Nightwear Plus Anti-Oxidant Night Detox Creme

Source: From product name

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. 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. The following ingredients in this product do the job: algae extract, artemia extract.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea

algae extract 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High
