no:hj Home Aesthetic Aqua Bomb Facial Cream XL Jumbo Edition

Based on the ingredient list, "no: hj - Home Aesthetic Aqua Bomb Facial Cream XL Jumbo Edition" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. No: hj - Home Aesthetic Aqua Bomb Facial Cream XL Jumbo Edition ticks this box. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, honey extract and aloe barbadensis extract) 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). Emollients in this formulation (caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetearyl alcohol, cyclopentasiloxane, caprylyl glycol and glyceryl stearate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

• We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (saccharomyces polypeptides 0.05% - 0.15%, tripeptide-29 0.05% - 0.20%, copper tripeptide-1 0.05% - 0.30%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.10% - 0.35% and dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.10% - 0.40%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
