Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "men-u - Facial Moisturiser Lift" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Men-u - Facial Moisturiser Lift ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, sodium lactate and caprylyl glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Paraffinum liquidum, dimethicone, cetyl alcohol, ethylhexyl palmitate and caprylyl glycol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
