“Enriched with arnica and hyaluronic acid, this product helps to soothe and hydrate the skin, while SPF 50 protects against harmful UV rays.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, cera alba.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Product summary
We do not recommend "Teoxane (Teosyal Cosmeceuticals) - Teoxane RE[COVER] Complexion SPF 50" because it does not provide good UVA protection. UVA sun rays don't burn the skin, but they still lead to photoaging and hyperpigmentation.
It also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product.
