“Formula enriched with energy-boosting organic Goji Berry and Acerola Seed extracts for a fresh, rosy complexion, Organic Fig with its super hydrating powers, and Meadowsweet and Organic Strawberry Tree extract for visible action on imperfections, shine and pores.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, butylene glycol.
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).

Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tartaric acid, Ficus carica fruit extract + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (ficus carica fruit extract, tartaric acid) 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.
