Based on the ingredients included, "Violette_FR - C'est La Cream Crème Hydratante" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Violette_FR - C'est La Cream Crème Hydratante ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and calcium gluconate 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 (simmondsia chinensis seed oil, squalane, cetearyl alcohol, polyglyceryl-6 stearate and pentylene glycol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
