“Particularly rich in Acemannan (the main active polysaccharide of Aloes), Aloe arborescens is ideal for moisturizing mature or dry-prone skin.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

Product summary

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 product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.10% - 0.45%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Humectants (glycerin 3.10% - 4.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Price
The product retails for 27.80£ in the United Kingdom.
