Peach Slices Citrus-Honey Aqua Glow Hydrating Moisture-Gel

Based on the ingredients included, "Peach Slices - Citrus-Honey Aqua Glow Hydrating Moisture-Gel" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Peach Slices - Citrus-Honey Aqua Glow Hydrating Moisture-Gel ticks this box. Glycerin, honey extract and butylene glycol 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 (ceramide np, glycine soja oil, helianthus annuus seed oil, cetearyl alcohol and cyclopentasiloxane) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
