What the product description says
“The combination of sun-warmed lavender and rich vanilla calms the senses, while skin is pampered by the moisturizing vanilla extract.”
Source: SmallFlower

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The humectants (glucose, propylene glycol) can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks emollients that can reduce the moisture loss over time. You might want to use a separate product emollients and occlusives like dimethicone, oils, or butters on top.

Glucose· HumectantEffect: MediumHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function~1.3–1.6%
Propylene glycol· HumectantEffect: LowHelps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can be irritating~0.65–0.95%
Lactic acidUnder-dosedAn exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)~1.5–1.9%

Product summary

Ingredient callouts

  • This product contains acids (lactic acid 1.50% - 1.90%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.

Price

The product retails for 8.50$ in the United States.
