"Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5"

From product name

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin. But: it can't help seal in the moisture and reduce water loss over time, so you might want to use an additional product with good emollient ingredients (like oils, butters, or silicones)
