“24-7 Moisture Intense Ultra Hydrating Day & Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane”
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, hyaluronic acid.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: linoleic acid
“Skin Type Normal, Dry, and Combination Skincare Concerns Fine Lines and Wrinkles, Dryness, and Redness Highlighted Ingredients , S6Pro Complex TM A proprietary blend of prebiotics and probiotic extracts that visibly improves smoothness and maintains balance.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - butyrospermum parkii butter, hyaluronic acid, lactococcus ferment lysate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

Based on the ingredients included, "Tula - 24-7 Moisture Intense Ultra Hydrating Day & Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Tula - 24-7 Moisture Intense Ultra Hydrating Day & Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, hyaluronic acid, lactobacillus ferment, sodium lactate and sodium pca) 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). Linoleic acid, hippophae rhamnoides oil, jojoba esters, linolenic acid and butyrospermum parkii butter in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e, lactic acid, agran oil and myristyl myristateWe assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be high.
