Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "KORRES - Pomegranate Balancing Cream-Gel Moisturizer" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. KORRES - Pomegranate Balancing Cream-Gel Moisturizer ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and caprylyl glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (glycine soja oil, phytosterols, helianthus annuus seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil and c12-15 alkyl benzoate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
