“Aqua Jolt Oil-Free Hydration Gel Cream Oily To Combination Skin”
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:
anhydroxylitol, biosaccharide gum-1.
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, phenyl trimethicone.
Anti-agingNo ingredient credited for this claimNo evidence
“The invigorating antioxidant formula helps reduce sebum production, control oil and minimize the appearance of redness, reinforcing firmness and boosting elasticity.”
