Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Vitamin A Cream contains Vitamin A, which may have anti-ageing properties and improve the texture and elasticity of aged skin to therefore help improve wrinkles.
Source: Feelunique
This product contains retinyl palmitate. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
An emollient that softens the skin
Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
HealthAid has formulated this cream using high quality Vitamin A, which is readily absorbed, non-greasy and helps to nourish, moisturise and restore your skin's natural texture.

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The emollients (cetearyl alcohol, prunus amygdalus dulcis oil) can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks humectants that attract water. You might want to use a separate product with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in addition (use before this product for the best results).
An emollient that softens the skin
A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
