Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide np 0.15% - 0.30%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.80% - 1.15% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
- Humectants (hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.15% - 0.25%, fructooligosaccharides 0.15% - 0.30%, glycerin 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.50%, panthenol 0.80% - 1.15% and betaine 1.50% - 1.90%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Features Prickly Pear Seed Oil which is a natural antioxidant that deeply nourishes the skin with rich Vitamin E. Consists of Cactus Extract that moisturizes dry skin and helps soothe sensitive and irritated skin.
Source: Yesstyle
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
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:
betaine, fructooligosaccharides.
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: opuntia ficus-indica seed oil, cetyl alcohol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, panthenol

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
A clay mask formulated with Moroccan Ghassoul Clay that helps remove the dead skin cells and impurities thoroughly and gently to leave the skin smooth.
Source: Yesstyle
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated
