Moisturizing6 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“Brimming with skin-restoring vitamins, this formula acts like an IV drip of moisture for the body — powerfully feeding parched skin with hydration without so much as a greasy streak in sight.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, prunus armeniaca kernel oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-aging1 ingredient credited for this claimWeak support
“With fatty acid-rich rosehip oil fuelling cells with vitamins C and A, this elixir even improves skin elasticity and firmness while protecting the skin barrier and diminishing the look of fine lines and stretchmarks.”
