“Based around an emollient was with Safflower Oil and Lanolin, the rich formula sinks in to skin to lock in hydration and complement the natural acid pH levels.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: carthamus tinctorius seed oil, cetearyl alcohol.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum
Anti-agingNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Enriched with Lemon extract, it brightens and tones to reduce the look of pores and fine lines while minimizing redness with soothing Urea.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
