MoisturizingOlea europaea fruit oil, Glycerin + 5 moreWorks
“That's exactly why we've created this reusable forehead patch, crafted to deliver unparalleled hydration and rejuvenation.”
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, hydrolyzed collagen.
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: hydrolyzed collagen, triticum vulgare germ oil.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tocopherol, Vitis vinifera seed extract + 3 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (tocopherol, vitis vinifera seed extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
