Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Skyn Iceland - Hydro Cool Firming Neck Gel" can work well for skin moisturization. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Glycerin and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (glycosphingolipids) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
