MoisturizingDimethicone, Squalane + 4 moreWorks
“ISANA Hydro Booster Moisturizing Face Capsules provide concentrated facial care in seven convenient single-use capsules.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethicone, squalane.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Ginkgo biloba leaf extract, Tocopheryl acetate + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (ginkgo biloba leaf 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.
