What the product description says
“Quench”
Source: Beauty Expert

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: galactoarabinan, 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: glycine soja oil, glycine soja sterols.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea

TrehaloseKey active· HumectantEffect: HighA sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin~0.25–0.45%

Product summary

"KORRES - Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Quench Sleeping Facial" is effective for: Moisturizing

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.30% - 0.55%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
  • Humectants (urea 0.25% - 0.45%, trehalose 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.45%, saccharide isomerate 0.25% - 0.45%, galactoarabinan 0.25% - 0.50% and glycerin 5.60% - 6.90%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
