What the product description says
“This tinted moisturiser also contains anti-ageing properties providing your skin with un-paralleled coverage whilst hydrating your skin and protecting it from environmental damage.”
Source: Face the future

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: glycerin.

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: helianthus annuus seed oil, peg-10 dimethicone.

Coconut alkanesKey active· EmollientEffect: MediumAn emollient that helps soften the skin~3.7–4.6%
Coco-caprylate/caprateKey active· EmollientEffect: MediumHelps to soften the upper layer of the skin without creating a greasy texture~3.1–3.8%

Pyrus malus fruit extractKey activeEffect: MediumCan have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content~0.9–1.1%
Helianthus annuus seed oilKey active· Emollient, OcclusiveEffect: HighA great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function~0.65–0.95%
Polysilicone-11Effect: LowA silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel~1.9–2.3%

The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation~0.6–0.85%
Tamarindus indica extractEffect: LowA plant extract that might have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect in skin but solid evidence is lacking~0.35–0.6%
TocopherolEffect: Low, below effective dosePure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself~0.7–1.05%
