“Enriched with Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil and 4 kinds of floral extracts such as Chamomile for moisturizing.”
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:
glycerin, butylene glycol.
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: beeswax, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "MediFlower - Perfume In Hand Cream - 3 Types" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. MediFlower - Perfume In Hand Cream - 3 Types ticks this box. Glycerin and propylene glycol 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 (paraffinum liquidum, beeswax, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol and macadamia ternifolia seed oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
