What the product description says
“Provides moisture to quickly revive tired, dull complexion.”
Source: Lila Beauty

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: anhydroxylitol, arginine.

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, glyceryl caprylate.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

Product summary

Ingredient callouts

  • This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.20% - 0.70%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
  • An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 0.80% - 1.25%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
  • Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in this product (1.30% - 1.90%) can also further help improve the skin barrier. It might be able to calm down inflammation and reduce sensitivity. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is an active compound from the licorice root.
  • Humectants (arginine 0.10% - 0.40%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.30% - 0.75%, hyaluronic acid 0.35% - 0.85%, glyceryl glucoside 0.50% - 1.15%, panthenol 0.80% - 1.25%, sodium hyaluronate 1.00% - 1.50%, dipotassium glycyrrhizate 1.30% - 1.90%, anhydroxylitol 2.10% - 3.20% and glycerin 3.40% - 5.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
