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, hydrolyzed soy protein.

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, cetearyl alcohol.

dimethicone 0.2% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish

glycerin 3.7% - 5.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

cetearyl alcohol 5.9% - 8.9%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia oleifera leaf extract, thioctic acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

thioctic acid 0.45% - 1.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

camellia oleifera leaf extract 1.2% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, even though it is not usually used in sufficient concentration in cosmetics

hydrolyzed soy protein 0.35% - 0.85%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might have some anti-aging, anti-oxidant, and skin lightening properties, but solid evidence is missing

Anti-aging

This product contains camellia oleifera leaf extract, thioctic acid. These ingredients help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they might be able to prevent early signs of aging (like fine lines and wrinkles), at least to some extent. These ingredients will not be able to "reverse" signs of aging.

thioctic acid 0.45% - 1.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW
