Shiseido BAUM Hydro Essence Lotion Woodland Winds
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Diglycerin + 5 moreWorks
“For lustrous and transparent skin with plenty of moisture.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": diglycerin, glycerin.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
ExfoliationSide benefit · Hydroxyethyl urea, Lactic acidWorks well
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: hydroxyethyl urea.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ginkgo biloba leaf extract, Sapindus mukorossi peel extractMay help
This product contains antioxidants (ginkgo biloba leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
