What does the product description say?
Enriched with moisturising Manuka Honey, Aloe Vera and Hyaluronic Acid, the mask deeply hydrates, firms and plumps the skin whilst an extract derived from the Nopal (or Prickly Pear) plant speeds up the skin’s natural exfoliation process to regenerate new skin overnight.

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:
allantoin, glycerin.
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: cocos nucifera oil, cetearyl alcohol.
