NEOGEN X SUR.MEDIC Real Heartleaf Soothing Cream

"Neogen - Real Heartleaf Soothing Cream" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Neogen - Real Heartleaf Soothing Cream ticks this box. Panthenol, arginine, betaine, glycerin and hyaluronic acid 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). Emollients in this formulation (arginine, chondrus crispus extract, cetyl alcohol, macadamia integrifolia seed oil and olea europaea fruit oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
