What does the product description say?
Dr. Phil Cosmetics X-Barrier Treatment Washing Cream
Source: From product name
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:
acetyl hydroxyproline, 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: dimethicone, acetyl hydroxyproline.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
An amino-acid that can support ceramides production in skin and reduce water-loss
An emollient that is naturally found in skin
