“Infused with ultra-nourishing ingredients, the multi-functional product contains antioxidant-rich Lychee Extract to help treat the skin, releasing a nourishing burst of hydration for optimum defence against dryness.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cera microcristallina, cyclopentasiloxane.
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).

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
