O HUI The First Geniture For Men Tone Up Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "O HUI - The First Geniture For Men Tone Up Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. O HUI - The First Geniture For Men Tone Up Cream ticks this box. Panthenol, arginine, diglycerin 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). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide np, arginine, squalane, butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate and cetyl alcohol) 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

• As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide np 0.30% - 0.55%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
• We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (oligopeptide-4 0.20% - 0.35%, oligopeptide-3 0.20% - 0.40%, oligopeptide-1 0.25% - 0.45% and copper tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%). 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.
• An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 1.70% - 2.10%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
