L'Oréal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45 Firming Day Cream

"L'Oréal Paris - Wrinkle Expert 45 Firming Day Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. L'Oréal Paris - Wrinkle Expert 45 Firming Day Cream ticks this box. Glycerin, glycine soja protein, hydrolyzed soy protein and propylene 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 (paraffinum liquidum, shorea robusta seed butter, beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter and cera alba) 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 moisturizer includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.20% - 0.35%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
