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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

glycerin 2.1% - 3.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

prunus amygdalus dulcis oil 5.2% - 7.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An emollient that softens the skin

behenyl alcohol 2.8% - 4.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Non-drying alcohol that helps water and oil mix together. Also serves as an emollient

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Oh, and you can kiss goodbye to that awful dry, tight feeling too, as your hands bask in the glory of lactic acid – an intelligent ingredient that lubricates and softens the surface of the skin, while buffing away the rubbish (read.

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

lactic acid 0.1% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
