Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - butyrospermum parkii butter, zinc pca - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

What the product description says
“Men Soin Total Anti-Age Wrinkle Smoothing Fluid”
From product name

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: diglycerin, 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: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.
