This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane.

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 0.95% - 1.15%

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

cyclopentasiloxane 3.1% - 3.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absorb oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin

ulmus davidiana root extract 0.1% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant root extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It might have an anti-inflammatory effect and could help neturalize free radicals in skin

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia japonica flower extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

camellia japonica flower extract 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin

ulmus davidiana root extract 0.1% - 0.2%

uncaria gambir extract 0.2% - 0.4%
