Moisturizing9 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“For all skin types but recommended for skin prone to dryness and sagginess Pro collagen – for a smoother, plumper skin feel Sodium Lactate – boosts hydration and skin elasticity Caffeine – naturally invigorating Fast absorbing. Non greasy”
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:
glycerin, sodium lactate.
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, salvia hispanica seed oil.
