This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, saccharomyces/barley seed ferment filtrate.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

glycerin 3.4% - 5.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

lactobacillus/soybean ferment extract 2.4% - 3.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus out of soybean. The fermented product helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and has anti-bacterial properties. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation and could be helpful in evening out skin tone, but studies are lacking

saccharomyces/barley seed ferment filtrate 0.4% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A yeast extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and can help attract water to its upper layers

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (saccharomyces/barley seed ferment filtrate) 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.

saccharomyces/barley seed ferment filtrate 0.4% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A yeast extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and can help attract water to its upper layers
