How it works
This moisturizer's formulation includes several key ingredients intended to improve the skin's appearance. Ceramides (NP, NS, AP, EOP, EOS) help to replenish and maintain the skin barrier, fostering hydration. Retinol assists in skin restoration, contributing to smoother texture. Vitamin C derivatives, like Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ascorbyl Glucoside, function as antioxidants, potentially reducing oxidative stress. Additionally, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate supports the antioxidant activity. Extracts such as Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root offer antioxidant and skin-soothing properties respectively. When combined, these ingredients aim to support hydrated, resilient skin.
