Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "L'AMARUE - The Face Cream | L'AMARUE" works well for moisturizing the skin. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Humectants in this product (sodium hyaluronate) 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). Petrolatum, cocos nucifera oil, squalane, cetearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol 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.

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: sodium hyaluronate.

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: cocos nucifera oil, squalane.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: petrolatum

squalane 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.

sodium hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

petrolatum 3.9% - 5.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (rubus idaeus seed oil, sodium ascorbyl phosphate) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

rubus idaeus seed oil 2.8% - 4.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant oil that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin

sodium ascorbyl phosphate 0.1% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C

aesculus hippocastanum seed extract 0.35% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Plant extract. Might have some anti-oxidant properties. Can be irritating
