Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "SkinCeuticals - Emollience Moisturizer" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. SkinCeuticals - Emollience Moisturizer ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, algae extract, glycerin, aloe barbadensis extract and caprylyl 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). Algae extract, sesamum indicum seed oil, vitis vinifera seed oil, caprylic/capric glycerides and macadamia ternifolia seed oil in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
