“Due Alberi Biphase Moisturiser Oil”
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.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea
Anti-aging1 ingredient credited for this claimLimited support
“Enriched with active levels of Vitamin C and wild organic chicory, it helps support natural collagen synthesis for long-term resilience.”
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.
Evens skin tone1 ingredient credited for this claimWeak support
“Also harnessing vitamin C, the Due Alberi Biphase Moisturizing Oil brightens and evens tone while plumping fine lines and repairing the skin barrier. FTU004 26143 856643008275”

Product summary
"Furtuna Skin - Due Alberi Biphase Moisturiser Oil" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Furtuna Skin - Due Alberi Biphase Moisturiser Oil ticks this box. Urea and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (borago officinalis seed oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, simmondsia chinensis seed oil, squalane and olea europaea fruit oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
