“With Urea, Colloidal Oatmeal, Ceramides, + juicy peach scent , the hydrating formula reveals skin that is healthier-looking, supple and silky smooth Vegan, Gluten-Free, Paraben-Free, Oil-Free, Sulfate-Free”
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:
glycerin, sodium pca.
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: dimethicone, c12-15 alkyl benzoate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, lanolin, paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum, urea
Exfoliation3 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“Contains 10% Lactic Acid (AHA) to resurface the top layer of skin, helping to reduce the appearance of hard, rough bumps associated with Keratosis Pilaris.”
This product might help exfoliate the skin with urea, but This ingredient is not the most effective.
Evens skin toneNot advertised by the brand · 2 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: hydroquinone.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
