Prunus armeniaca kernel oil, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 8 more
Good evidence
What the product description says
“The lightweight, non-comedogenic oil absorbs quickly into skin while providing deep moisture without stickiness.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, simmondsia chinensis seed 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).

Source: Yesstyle

This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
