Judging from the ingredient list, "PEACH & LILY - Buy Peach Lily Snail Rescue All-In-One Deep Moisture Cream Australia - Korean Beauty" works well for improving skin hydration As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and snail secretion filtrate 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 (jojoba esters, phytosterols, phytosteryl macadamiate, butyrospermum parkii butter and squalane) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

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:
biosaccharide gum-1, 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, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: madecassoside
An antioxidant that is typically derived from plant Centella Asiatica. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin and support skin barrier function. It could, however, itself be irritating. It is often unstable in formulations
Lipids that work as an emollient and can be helpful in repairing skin barrier function

free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
