Does not work for
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
The argan-infused formula suspends over fine lines and wrinkles to smooth and correct visible signs of aging, as the one-of-a-kind 100 percent argan oil balances skin for a natural-looking finish.

This product contains magnesium aluminum silicate. This ingredient could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and, when combined with zinc carbonate and malonic acid, reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating elastin production. Also helps stabilize the product formulation
Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
This buildable, sheer coverage foundation strengthens and balances your skin while keeping oily areas shine-free, and dry spots naturally moisturized for totally flawless, younger-looking skin.

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The emollients (coco-caprylate/caprate, coconut alkanes) can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks humectants that attract water. You might want to use a separate product with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in addition (use before this product for the best results).
