Judging from the ingredient list, "Natura Siberica - Крем для рук 5% panthenol S. O. S. Hand Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Natura Siberica - Крем для рук 5% panthenol S. O. S. Hand Cream ticks this box. Panthenol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Cocos nucifera oil, cetearyl alcohol, coco-caprylate/caprate and glyceryl stearate 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.
