“Face Glaze This Product Is a skincare-makeup hybrid that nourishes skin while giving skin a soft-focused dewy glow Good For all skin types including dry, mature, sensitive, blemish-prone, combination and normal Why We Love It INNBEAUTY PROJECT Face Glaze is a lightweight gel-cream hybrid that melts into skin to hydrate and protect, while adding a natural luminosity.”
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, glycerin.
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.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, phytosphingosine
Anti-agingNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Formulated with plant-based squalane to moisturize and lock in moisture while working to strengthen the skin's barrier, plus hyaluronic acid and watermelon extract to help plump skin and silica to blur imperfections and improve the appearance of fine lines.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient pinus pinaster bark extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Pinus pinaster bark extract, Terminalia ferdinandiana fruit extract + 3 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (pinus pinaster bark extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.30% - 0.55% and ceramide np 0.70% - 1.00%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 0.65%, glycerin 4.30% - 5.30% and betaine 1.50% - 1.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
