Product Summary
"Tata Harper - 5 Minute Facial for Sensitive Skin" could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- This product contains acids (lactic acid 0.15% - 0.65% and lactic acid 0.15% - 0.65%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
- Humectants (saccharide isomerate 0.15% - 0.60%, lactobacillus ferment 0.15% - 0.65%, diglycerin 0.15% - 0.65%, saccharide isomerate 0.35% - 0.80%, glycerin 0.40% - 0.90%, lactobacillus ferment 1.00% - 1.50% and diglycerin 1.30% - 1.90%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Moisturizing
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:
diglycerin, glycerin.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, ricinus communis seed oil.
