Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Hydrates, firms, and plumps dry skin.
Source: Bluemercury
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.
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: cannabis sativa seed oil, carthamus tinctorius seed oil.
A plant oil that due to its high linoleic acid content can help strengthen skin's barrier function and soften its upper layer
Red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might contain antioxidants
Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
An emollient that helps soften the skin and might help calm down inflammation
A seaweed extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have an anti-oxidant effect
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

Anti-aging
What does the product description say?

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
An updated formula of lychee seed, undaria seaweed, and volcanic pumice resurfaces and exfoliates from head to toe.
Source: Bluemercury
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
