Moisturizing11 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“This fast-absorbing, non-greasy foot cream formula is enriched with vitamin D plus soothing niacinamide and three essential ceramides to strengthen the skin's barrier and help the skin retain moisture.”
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:
faex, propylene glycol.
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: cera microcristallina, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: lanolin, panthenol, petrolatum, urea
Exfoliation1 ingredient credited for this claimLimited support
“Cera Ve Renewing SA Foot Cream provides gentle, non-irritating exfoliation with salicylic acid and ammonium lactate, plus hyaluronic acid to moisturize and help the skin retain its natural hydration.”
This product might help exfoliate the skin with urea, but This ingredient is not the most effective.
