- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.90% - 1.35%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?
Aloe Vera Ginseng Extract Moisturizer
Source: Sephora Hong Kong
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:
sodium hyaluronate, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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: argania spinosa kernel oil, beta-sitosterol.
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
A phytosterol that can support skin's barrier function and help the skin stay hydrated
Plant oil that due to its high content of linoleic acid can help support skin's barrier function improving its hydration
An emollient that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Might have some weak anti-oxidant properties
Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Fresh and invigorating, this lightweight yet moisturizing gel is richly packed with herbal extracts that provide bacteriacidal, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties to fend off breakouts, inflammation, and sensitivity, while rich in nutrients and antioxidants to promote cellular growth and neutralize free radical damage.
