What does the product description say?
"It's a highly concentrated serum that smoothes and seals the hair's cuticle, eliminating dryness and frizziness instantly."
From: Ulta

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to seal in the moisture in the skin. But: it is not effective in attracting water to the skin, so you might want to use an additional product with good humectant ingredients (like glycerin or hyaluronic acid)
