“L300 Intensive Moisture Night Cream+ är en nattkräm som är speciellt anpassad för torr hud.”
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:
betaine, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: caprooyl phytosphingosine, caprooyl sphingosine, ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide eos, ceramide np, ceramide ns, urea

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, "L300 - INTENSIVE MOISTURE FACE CREAM" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. L300 - INTENSIVE MOISTURE FACE CREAM ticks this box. Urea, betaine and glycerin 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). Caprooyl phytosphingosine, ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns and cholesterol 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
- As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (caprooyl sphingosine 0.25% - 0.50%, caprooyl phytosphingosine 0.30% - 0.55%, ceramide eos 0.25% - 0.50%, ceramide eop 0.30% - 0.55%, ceramide ap 0.25% - 0.50%, ceramide ns 0.30% - 0.55% and ceramide np 0.35% - 0.60%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
