What the product description says
“The dewy gel hydrates and smooths the skin to boost natural radiance and leaves makeup looking perfectly glowing.”
Source: Beauty Bay

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: rosa rubiginosa seed oil, vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Side benefit · Vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil, Tocopheryl acetate
May help

This product contains antioxidants (vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Tocopheryl acetateEffect: Low, below effective doseA more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.~0.35–0.75%
