Judging from the ingredient list, "NIOD - Photography Fluid, Opacity 8%" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. NIOD - Photography Fluid, Opacity 8% ticks this box. Humectants in this product (urea, fructose, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and sodium lactate) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Cetearyl alcohol, pentylene glycol and isodecyl neopentanoate 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.

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": fructose, glycerin.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea

sodium lactate 0.55% - 0.85%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product
