Murad Intense Recovery Cream

"Murad - Intense Recovery Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Murad - Intense Recovery Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (urea, betaine, glycerin, inositol and trehalose) 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). Stearyl dimethicone, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, ethylhexyl palmitate and macadamia ternifolia seed oil 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.
