VT Cica Cream Jumbo

Based on the ingredients included, "VT - Cica Cream Jumbo" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. VT - Cica Cream Jumbo ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol and caprylyl glycol 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 (ceramide np, beeswax, dimethicone, caprylyl glycol and cetyl ethylhexanoate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
