How does this moisturiser work, and do I still need to apply sunscreen separately?

This cream works through three main mechanisms to improve skin comfort and appearance. First, it uses humectants (such as glycerin) to draw moisture into the upper layers of the epidermis. Second, emollients smooth the spaces between skin cells, making the surface feel softer and look more even. Third, occlusives slow down transepidermal water loss, preventing moisture from evaporating during the morning and afternoon. Together, these effects reduce the feeling of tightness after cleansing.

It is important to note that while this moisturiser creates a smooth base, it does not provide UV protection. You should always finish your morning routine with a dedicated SPF product. This ensures your skin is protected from sun damage while benefiting from the hydration and barrier support provided by the cream.
