Product summary

"Reviva - Day Cream with Alpha Lipoic Acid" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Reviva - Day Cream with Alpha Lipoic Acid ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin, hydrolyzed soy protein and aloe barbadensis extract) 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). Theobroma cacao seed butter, dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane and cetyl alcohol 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.
