“Description Mild By Nature Camellia Care Green Tea Facial Cream With EGCg from Green Tea plus Resveratrol & Hyaluronic Acid pH Balanced, No Fragrance Added & Cruelty-Free No Dyes, No Parabens & No Phthalates Suitable for All Skin Types* Mild By Nature Camellia Care Facial Cream combines clean, weightless moisture with a concentrated source of EGCg from Camellia sinensis (Green Tea), plus Resveratrol and Hyaluronic Acid.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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: dimethicone, coco-caprylate.

This product contains ingredients (resveratrol) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · 5 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
