Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Body Cream

"Peter Thomas Roth - Water Drench Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Body Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin, saccharide isomerate and sodium hyaluronate) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Isopropyl myristate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol and cetyl ethylhexanoate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

• This product also contains vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (1.10% - 1.70%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
• This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.50% - 1.20% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
