Moisturizing5 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“Enriched with nourishing olive oil and squalane, the formula delivers a hefty moisture boost with a non-greasy reflective finish.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-aging1 ingredient credited for this claimWeak support
“Stabilised vitamin C works on a deeper level to boost radiance, stimulate collagen production and protect against environmental aggressors.”

Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.
