Key actives
Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
A product of yeast fermentation. Can contain humectants that help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help neutralize free oxidants

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The humectants (saccharomyces/rice ferment filtrate) can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks emollients that can reduce the moisture loss over time. You might want to use a separate product emollients and occlusives like dimethicone, oils, or butters on top.
