Product Summary
"OleHenriksen - Après Skin Multi-Use Rich Rescue Crème" is effective for: Moisturizing
Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.35% - 0.60%, ceramide eop 0.30% - 0.55%, ceramide ap 0.30% - 0.50%, ceramide np 0.35% - 0.65% and ceramide ng 0.35% - 0.60%). 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.
- An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 4.40% - 5.30%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
- Humectants (sodium lactate 0.30% - 0.50%, saccharomyces/silicon ferment 0.25% - 0.50%, saccharomyces/iron ferment 0.25% - 0.50%, saccharomyces/copper ferment 0.25% - 0.50%, saccharomyces/zinc ferment 0.25% - 0.50%, manganese pca 0.25% - 0.50%, magnesium pca 0.25% - 0.50%, sodium pca 0.30% - 0.55%, zinc pca 0.25% - 0.45%, polyglutamic acid 0.30% - 0.60%, sodium hyaluronate 0.35% - 0.65%, glycerin 3.00% - 3.60% and panthenol 4.40% - 5.30%).

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
This rich rescue creme can be used as a facial moisturizer or applied anywhere that dry, stressed skin needs relief.

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:
glycerin, magnesium pca.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide ng, ceramide np, panthenol, phytosphingosine
