NATURE REPUBLIC Aqua Super Aqua Max Sleeping Pack

MoisturizingCyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin + 22 moreWorks
“Nature Republic Aqua Super Aqua Max Deep Moisture Sleeping Pack helps to provide deep moisturization to the skin overnight.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
algae extract, betaine.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, peg-10 dimethicone.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Haematococcus pluvialis extract, Ulmus davidiana root extract + 7 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (haematococcus pluvialis extract) 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.
