Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Lock in moisture to firm and smooth the appearance of fine lines, promote elasticity and collagen production for plumper skin, rebuild damaged-looking skin for a younger-looking décolletage, reduce the appearance of sun damage, pigmentation and redness for a more even skin tone, and, protect your décolletage from further environmental aggressors too.

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
arginine, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, butyrospermum parkii butter.
