“Key Benefits Helps support and maintain the skin barrier function Reduces moisture loss Instant and long-term hydration Helps reduce redness Encourages a firmer, more supple skin UK200037897”
Source: SpaceNK

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
