Then I Met You Bong² Bounce Cream

Based on the ingredient list, "Then I Met You - Bong² Bounce Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Then I Met You - Bong² Bounce Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and hydroxyethyl urea) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide np, hydrolyzed collagen, linolenic acid, squalane and oleic acid) 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

• As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide np 0.10% - 0.40%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
