“Protect delicate facial skin with This Works Stress Check Face Shield, a hydrating and nourishing face mist that works to protect the skin’s natural moisture barrier and help it stay resilient to stress.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: cannabidiol - derived from extract or tincture or resin of cannabis, urea
Anti-blemishCannabidiol - derived from extract or tincture or resin of cannabisNot delivered
“The addition of hemp-derived pure CBD isolate works to counteract the look of redness, blemishes and irritation that wearing protective facemasks and PPE can cause, leaving skin feeling comforted, soothed and refreshed.”
This product contains ingredients (cannabidiol - derived from extract or tincture or resin of cannabis) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
