Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Mamonde - Vital Vitamin Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Mamonde - Vital Vitamin Cream ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, sucrose and butylene 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). Ribes nigrum seed oil, copernicia cerifera wax, dimethicone, dimethiconol and copernicia cerifera cera in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • We love that this moisturizer contains a good concentration of niacinamide 2.30% - 2.90%. Niacinamide is a perfect active in a moistruizer because it helps calm down inflamation in skin and support the skin barrier. More than that, it is helpful for most common skin concerns: it helps regulat oil production, help reduce acne and clogged pores, improve skin tone and prevent pigmentation marks. It also helps fight photodamage.
  • This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.70% - 1.05% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
