“Nuxe Crème Prodigieuse Boost 5in 1 Multi-Perfection Smoothing Primer 30 ml is a blurring and anti-ageing care with nude effect.This care contains an antioxidant complex with Jasmine flower and with perfecting powders from natural origin which acts on the five visible signs of ageing caused by an intense lifestyle.From the first application, it matifies and illuminates the skin while preserving its hydration.”
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:
biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.
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, squalane.
