Judging from the ingredient list, "Rosette - Ceramide Multifunctional Gel" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Rosette - Ceramide Multifunctional Gel ticks this box. Humectants in this product (betaine, glycerin, imperata cylindrica root extract, sodium hyaluronate and soluble collagen) 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). Ceramide 1, ceramide 2, ceramide 3, phytosphingosine and cholesterol 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.
Ingredient callouts
As a plus, this moisturizer also contains ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.40% - 0.95%, ceramide 2 0.45% - 1.10%, ceramide 3 0.55% - 1.30% and ceramide 1 0.90% - 1.30%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.

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:
betaine, 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:
cholesterol, macadamia ternifolia seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: ceramide 1, ceramide 2, ceramide 3, phytosphingosine
A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
