Product summary

"INNBEAUTY PROJECT - Extreme Cream Anti-Aging, Firming, & Lifting Refillable Moisturizer" has a good moisturizing formula. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (panthenol, arginine, carnosine, glycerin and glyceryl glucoside) 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). Ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine, cholesterol and glycosphingolipids 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.

Ingredient callouts

  • As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (tetraacetylphytosphingosine 0.20% - 0.40%, phytosphingosine 0.30% - 0.50%, ceramide np 0.35% - 0.60%, ceramide eop 0.35% - 0.65% and ceramide ap 0.35% - 0.65%). 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% - 1.20% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: gluconolactone, vitamin e, lecithin, stearic acid and allantoin
