Product Summary
Based on the ingredient list, "La Roche-Posay - Redermic Anti Wrinkle Firming Face Moisturizer with Vitamin C" can work well for skin moisturization. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, butylene glycol 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). Paraffinum liquidum, limnanthes alba seed oil, butyrospermum parkii butter, cera microcristallina and dimethicone 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.
