Too Faced Hangover Mini Pillow Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "Too Faced - Hangover Mini Pillow Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Too Faced - Hangover Mini Pillow Cream ticks this box. Acetyl hexapeptide-8, glycerin, hydroxyethyl urea, lactobacillus ferment and sodium hyaluronate in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (petrolatum, oryza sativa bran oil, cocos nucifera oil, dimethicone and squalane) 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

• This moistruizer also contains peptides (palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.20% - 0.40% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.20% - 0.40%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of peptides is, but it is very likely that peptides in skincare are helpful. They might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
