Product summary

"Rilastil - Aqua Intense 72h" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Rilastil - Aqua Intense 72h ticks this box. Arginine, glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine, cetyl dimethicone and cholesterol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

  • Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.50% - 0.70%, ceramide eop 0.50% - 0.75%, ceramide ap 0.50% - 0.75% and ceramide np 0.60% - 0.90%). 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.
