Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "KORRES - Apothecary Wild Rose Day-Brightening Gel-Cream with Vitamin Super C" works well for improving skin hydration This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (urea, glycerin, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer, imperata cylindrica root extract and sodium hyaluronate) 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). Emollients in this formulation (helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane, cetearyl alcohol, coco-caprylate and hydrogenated ethylhexyl olivate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e, rosehip oil, lecithin, lactic acid and ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate
