MoisturizingGlycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane + 11 moreWorks
“This moisturizer nourishes the skin with the natural scent of cloves, sandalwood, and Citrus Unshiu.”
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:
betaine, 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: dimethicone, dimethiconol.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Cornus officinalis fruit extract, Saccharomyces/barley seed ferment filtrate + 5 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (cornus officinalis fruit extract, saccharomyces/barley seed ferment filtrate) 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.
