MoisturizingParaffinum liquidum, Cera alba + 11 moreWorks well
“Replenishes skin and helps defend against dehydration.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cera alba, chondrus crispus extract.
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).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“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.
