Product Summary
"Secret Key - Rose Water Base Gel Cream" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Secret Key - Rose Water Base Gel Cream ticks this box. Panthenol, cyclomethicone, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (cyclomethicone, dimethiconol, cyclopentasiloxane, caprylyl glycol and octyldodecanol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

What does the product description say?
Secret Key Rose Water Base Gel Cream helps to deeply hydrate the skin and improve skin texture.
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:
cyclomethicone, 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: dimethiconol, cyclomethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
