“A Korean overnight mask to deeply hydrate and recharge your skin’s glow overnight.”
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:
anhydroxylitol, glycerin.
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: phenyl trimethicone, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np

“Apricot fruit extract-They are rich in Vitamins A, B and C, which can good plenty of good for our skin . The anti-oxidants present in the fruit can reverse the signs of ageing and make your skin look younger and fresher.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - beta-glucan, hyaluronic acid - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

Makes my skin so hydrated, bouncy, and glowy without feeling oily. It has a light, refreshing scent.
This is a nice hydrating product, but I didn't really see other effects from it. I think there are other better night creams, but if you are a Laneige junkie this is a product worth a try!
