Product Summary
"Vichy - Minéral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Cream Rich" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Vichy - Minéral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Cream Rich ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, sodium pca and caprylyl glycol) 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). Emollients in this formulation (butyrospermum parkii butter, squalane, arachidyl alcohol, caprylyl glycol and dicaprylyl ether) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
