Luzern Laboratories Alpine Rose Nectar Masque
Works for
MoisturizingPanthenol, Glycerin + 10 moreWorks well
“And, because it's Luzern, heaps of other tried-and-true natural, hydrating goodies (aloe, squalane, glycerin, and propanediol).”
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:
glycerin, isomalt.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
Anti-agingAloe barbadensis leaf juice, Lactic acidNot delivered
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.

“There's also honey in the mix, and a blend of ruby powder and lactic acid to help brighten and even skin tone.”
