Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "InstaNatural - Vitamin C Moisturizer & Vitamin C Night Cream Duo" works well for moisturizing the skin. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, terminalia ferdinandiana seed oil and glucosyl hesperidin 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). Carthamus tinctorius seed oil, glycine soja oil, limnanthes alba seed oil, persea gratissima oil and terminalia ferdinandiana seed oil 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
