MoisturizingPolymethylsilsesquioxane, Dimethiconol + 7 moreGood evidence
“This antioxidant-rich cream is gel based to provide intense hydration without being sticky or too heavy on skin.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethiconol, hydrogenated ethylhexyl olivate.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acidModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) 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.

Camellia sinensis leaf extract63%
- Irritation risk
- Low
Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
