Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Nourishing Foot Cream for Dry/Damaged Feet

Based on the ingredients included, "Neutrogena - Norwegian Formula Nourishing Foot Cream for Dry/Damaged Feet" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Neutrogena - Norwegian Formula Nourishing Foot Cream for Dry/Damaged Feet ticks this box. Panthenol and glycerin 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). Paraffinum liquidum, cera microcristallina, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol and cyclopentasiloxane 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.

Ingredient callouts

• This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 1.30% - 1.90% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
• In addition, this moisturizer contains Allantoin (0.50% - 1.20%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
