innisfree [Short Expiry Date] No-Sebum Lotion
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Butylene glycol + 3 moreWorks
“Innisfree's No Sebum Lotion is infused with green tea extracts to give you the best of both worlds, offering parched skin the hydration it needs while simultaneously controlling sebum with a lightweight formula, balancing the skin's moisture levels for a comfortable wear.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, butylene glycol.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Camellia japonica leaf extract + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.
