Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Huxley - Secret Of Sahara Cream Glow Awakening" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Huxley - Secret Of Sahara Cream Glow Awakening ticks this box. Biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Ethyl linoleate, opuntia ficus-indica seed oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone and squalane 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.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: stearic acid and allantoin
