Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "MD Complete by Dr. Brian Zelickson - Quench Restore Advanced Hyaluronic Treatment" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. MD Complete by Dr. Brian Zelickson - Quench Restore Advanced Hyaluronic Treatment ticks this box. Panthenol, urea, arginine, betaine and glycerin 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 (arginine 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.

Ingredient callouts
