Judging from the ingredient list, "La Roche-Posay - Effaclar H Iso-Biome Moisturiser" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. La Roche-Posay - Effaclar H Iso-Biome Moisturiser ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin and caprylyl glycol) 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 (dimethicone, myristyl myristate, squalane, caprylyl glycol and palmitic acid) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- We particularly like that there is a good concentration of Niacinamide (1.40% - 2.10%) in this moisturizer. Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is a great ingredient to have in a moisturizer. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and help improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
- An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 2.00% - 3.00%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
