“This radiance-boosting brightening cream features strawberry leaf extract to brightens and even your skin tone while Centella Asiatica provides antioxidant benefits and helps plump the appearance of the skin. Safflower Oil brightens and moisturises while Squalane boosts moisture retention and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines.”
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:
glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.
