“The light and hydrating emulsion make skin smooth as it softly spreads and absorbs quickly.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, honey.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

“White Cloud Grass helps to alleviate skin pigmentation caused by harmful irritants and enhances your skin for a clear and translucent look.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza uralensis root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
