La Roche-Posay - Lipikar Lait Urea 10% Triple-action Hydrating Lotion for Dry, Irritated Skin ticks this box. Humectants in this product (urea, glycerin, glycine, sodium lactate 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). Butyrospermum parkii butter, cetearyl alcohol, caprylyl glycol, dicaprylyl carbonate and glyceryl stearate 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.
