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).

dimethicone 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

isopropyl myristate 2.7% - 4.1%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient that helps soften the skin. Could be comedogenic

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

This cream gently exfoliates with Orange Peel extracts to keep the skin soft and smooth.

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
