“Romand Bare Water Cushion is a ultra-hydrating cushion foundation packed with hyaluronic acid and baobab extract to keep skin dewy for up to 48 hours.”
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:
hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, phenyl trimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, niacinamide, panthenol
Evens skin toneSide benefit the brand mentions · NiacinamideWorks well
“Available in five natural-looking shades catering to a range of skin tones #01 Porcelain 17 Bright ivory with a tint of pink, suitable for No.13-21 skin tone #02 Pure 21 Natural pink ivory, suitable for No.19-23 skin tone #03 Natural 21 Neutral ivory, suitable for No.21-23 skin tone #04 Beige 23 Natural beige, suitable for No.22-25 skin tone #05 Sand 25 Warm neutral beige, suitable for skin tones over No.23”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-blemishSide benefit · NiacinamideWorks well
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
Anti-agingSide benefit · Niacinamide, Adenosine + 2 moreWorks well
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine, niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide np 0.50% - 0.80%). 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.
- Adenosine 0.50% - 0.75%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
- Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.70% - 1.05% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
- Humectants (sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.15% - 0.30%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.30%, hyaluronic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.50% and panthenol 0.70% - 1.05%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
