Vegan by Happy Skin PINEAPPLE + VITAMIN C serum
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Sodium hyaluronate + 3 moreWorks
“This daily facial serum is powered by pineapple extract high in vitamin c that is well known for skin brightening and anti-ageing effects and super skin hydrator hyaluronic acid.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil.
