MoisturizingCeramide 1, Hyaluronic acid + 1 moreStrong evidence
“This face grade® treatment cream is packed with vitamin rich oils and powerful antioxidants to lock in moisture and replenish the skin, while defending from premature aging.”
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:
hyaluronic acid.
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: ceramide 1.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 1
Anti-agingHyaluronic acidLimited evidence
“This face grade® treatment cream is packed with vitamin rich oils and powerful antioxidants to lock in moisture and replenish the skin, while defending from premature aging.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - hyaluronic acid - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "Kayo Body Care - Body Beautiful Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Kayo Body Care - Body Beautiful Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (hyaluronic acid) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Ceramide 1 in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Ingredient callouts
