Prequel AM/PM Modern Moisturizer

"Prequel - AM/PM Modern Moisturizer" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Prequel - AM/PM Modern Moisturizer ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, saccharide isomerate, sodium hyaluronate and caprylyl glycol) 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). Ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns, linoleic acid and linolenic acid 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

Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
