“The fine, lightly powdered emulsion smoothes over the bust, neck and décolleté, delivering a veil of moisture to skin, which ensures it appears smooth, supple and firm.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: chondrus crispus extract, dimethicone.
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).
