GLAMGLOW Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturiser by Glamglow

Based on the ingredient list, "GLAMGLOW - Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturiser by Glamglow" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. GLAMGLOW - Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturiser by Glamglow ticks this box. Algae extract, glycerin, saccharomyces lysate extract, sodium hyaluronate and sucrose 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). Ceramide ng, algae extract, cholesterol, dimethicone and simmondsia chinensis seed oil 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.

Ingredient callouts

• As a plus, this moisturizer also contains ceramides (ceramide ng 0.30% - 0.55%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier.
