Product Summary
"SON REVE - Hydrating Facial Emulsion" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. SON REVE - Hydrating Facial Emulsion ticks this box. Anhydroxylitol, betaine, glycerin, polyglutamic acid and sodium hyaluronate 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). Limnanthes alba seed oil, dicaprylyl carbonate, glyceryl stearate and pentylene glycol 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.

Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
It also contains squalane, a natural emollient that helps to improve skin texture and tone while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Source: Soko Glam
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production
This oil's cmposition is closest to rapeseed oil. It is a very stable oil and serves as an emoillient

Moisturizing

Hydrating Facial Emulsion
Source: From product name
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:
anhydroxylitol, betaine.
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: limnanthes alba seed oil, dicaprylyl carbonate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
