Secret Key Rose Water Base Gel Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "Secret Key - Rose Water Base Gel Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. 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.
