What does the product description say?
"The brightening moisturiser smoothes and hydrates while leaving your complexion with a more radiant appearance."
From: Lookfantastic

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin. But: it can't help seal in the moisture and reduce water loss over time, so you might want to use an additional product with good emollient ingredients (like oils, butters, or silicones)

Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua/water/eau Plain old water
2 glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
3 alcohol denat Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products
4 methyl gluceth-20 Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and soften it
5 hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) water A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating
6 bellis perennis (daisy) flower extract A plant extract. Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating
7 algae extract Plant extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but research is not extensive yet
8 salicylic acid Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
9 pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
10 1,2-hexanediol A preservative

15 parfum/fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
16 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
17 ascorbyl glucoside A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products
18 alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties
19 linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating
20 potassium sorbate A preservative
