Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "Gifrer - Andina Discoloring Cream +" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Gifrer - Andina Discoloring Cream + ticks this box. Humectants in this product (propylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Paraffinum liquidum, cetearyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
