What the product description says
“Vita Liberata's Beauty Blur Skin Tone Optimiser is a moisturizing primer and skin finisher in one.”
Source: Ulta

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, heptyl undecylenate.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
