Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions by depositing a non-greasy, protective film across the epidermis. This barrier significantly impedes trans-epidermal water loss, effectively locking in moisture and maintaining optimal skin hydration levels. The result is a visibly softer, smoother, and more supple complexion.
