Product summary

"It Cosmetics - Hello Results Baby-Smooth Glycolic Peel + Caring Oil" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. It Cosmetics - Hello Results Baby-Smooth Glycolic Peel + Caring Oil ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, glucose and butylene glycol 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 (limnanthes alba seed oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane and isononyl isononanoate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
