Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Gold Bond - Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Cream Aloe" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Gold Bond - Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Cream Aloe ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, hydrolyzed collagen and methyl gluceth-20) 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). Petrolatum, hydrolyzed collagen, jojoba esters, cetearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol 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.
