“Black Rose Beautifying Emulsion is an ultra-hydrating and beautifying emulsion that enhances skin's natural radiance and suppleness to evoke the look of youthfulness.”
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:
biosaccharide gum-1, 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: squalane, glycine soja oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

“Black Rose Beautifying Emulsion is an ultra-hydrating and beautifying emulsion that enhances skin's natural radiance and suppleness to evoke the look of youthfulness.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.

Product summary
Based on the ingredients included, "Sisley-Paris - Black Rose Beautifying Emulsion" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Sisley-Paris - Black Rose Beautifying Emulsion ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, biosaccharide gum-1 and glycerin) 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 (glycine soja oil, helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane, c10-18 triglycerides and ethylhexyl palmitate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e, titanium dioxide, jojoba oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride and butyrospermum parkii butterIrritation risk
