“Enriched with repairing Centella Asiatica, Hyaluronic Acids (high and low molecular weight) and Vitamin B5, this ultra-soothing Serum moisturizes the skin deeply, promotes its regeneration, and evens the complexion.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": diglycerin, glycerin.
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: panthenol
Anti-agingCentella asiatica leaf extract, Zinc gluconateMay help
“Its formula enriched with dipeptides, helps to stimulate skin repair and prevent signs of aging.”
This product contains centella asiatica leaf extract. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
