Shiseido Advanced Essential Energy Hand Nourishing Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "Shiseido - Advanced Essential Energy Hand Nourishing Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Shiseido - Advanced Essential Energy Hand Nourishing Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (urea, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and butylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (paraffinum liquidum, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, hydrogenated palm oil and oryza sativa germ oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
