“Lets you wake up with skin that’s nourished and smooth”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, oenothera biennis oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: lanolin
Anti-agingPrunus amygdalus dulcis oilNot delivered
“Helps with fine lines, dull and dry skin”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
