Product Summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "L'Oréal Paris - Hydra Genius Liquid Care Moisturiser for Normal Combination Skin Exclusive" works well for improving skin hydration The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Panthenol, biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate 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). Dimethicone, dimethiconol, ethylhexyl palmitate, caprylyl glycol and isononyl isononanoate 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.
