Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "innisfree - Buy Innisfree Perfect 9 Intensive Eye Cream Australia - Korean Skin Care and Cosmetics" can work well for skin moisturization. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Glycerin, glucose, butylene glycol, caprylyl glycol and dextrin 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). Emollients in this formulation (copernicia cerifera wax, dimethicone, squalane, cetearyl alcohol and cyclopentasiloxane) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
