What does the product description say?

INTENSIVE HYALURONIC MASK

Source: From product name

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: algae extract, carnosine.

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: dimethicone, phenyl trimethicone.

phenyl trimethicone 0.3% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

A type of silicone that can decrease loss of moisture from the skin surface. It helps create a nice product texture

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

glycerin 4.4% - 5.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH
