Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "LANEIGE - Bright Dew Original Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. LANEIGE - Bright Dew Original Cream ticks this box. Panthenol, faex, glycerin, trehalose and butylene 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). Emollients in this formulation (dimethicone, squalane, cetyl alcohol, cetyl ethylhexanoate and glyceryl caprylate) 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

  • This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.35% - 0.85% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
