“Rejuvenating, Hydrating, Brightening, Protecting, Anti-inflammatory.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Anti-agingCentella asiatica extract, Aloe barbadensis leaf juiceMay help
“With a proprietary blend of natural ingredients designed to boost hydration and fight the signs of ageing it contains Acerola Cherry Ferment, rich in anthocyanins, vitamins A and C, and carotenoids and Hyaluronic Acid to help lock in moisture.”
This product contains centella asiatica extract. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
