THE FACE SHOP Rice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream

Based on the ingredient list, "THE FACE SHOP - Rice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. THE FACE SHOP - Rice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream ticks this box. Betaine, cyclomethicone, glycerin and sodium hyaluronate in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide np, cyclomethicone, glycosphingolipids, oryza sativa bran oil and caprylic/capric triglyceride) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

• Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide np 0.30% - 0.50%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier.
