Garnier Pure Active Purifying Hydro Alcoholic Hand Sanitiser Gel
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerinWorks
“With an efficient yet caring formula, Garnier Pure Active Hydro Alcoholic Hand Sanitiser Gel contains 70% Alcohol (v/v) and is enriched with plant-origin hydrating glycerin to avoid dryness.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
