Judging from the ingredient list, "MALIN + GOETZ - Vitamin b5 Hand Treatment Almond" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. MALIN + GOETZ - Vitamin b5 Hand Treatment Almond ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, sodium pca, butylene glycol and caprylyl 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 (dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, tricaprylin and caprylyl glycol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Boasting a buffet of rich and reparative extracts to offer hydration without any residue, this decadent formula’s brimming with honey and vitamin B5, alongside a medley of swiftly absorbed fatty acids to fortify delicate skin and deflect the effects of aggressors.
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, sodium pca.
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:
dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: panthenol
A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
