This is a good moisturizer.

The main content niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a multifunctional ingredient that increases ceramide and fatty acid levels in skin, retain skin water content, and stimulate microcirculation. Other than that, it is richly moisturizing.

Another main ingredient acetyl glucosamine is an amino acid sugar. It is the primary constituent of mucopolysaccharides and hyaluronic acid, both of which have excellent water-binding properties for skin.

The moisturizer is also full of potent antioxidants including vitamin A, C, E and green tea. The ingredient pyridoxine hydrochloride (HCL) is the chemical name for vitamin B6. It may have antibacterial and antioxidant benefits for skin. All these antioxidants help eliminate free radical damage and prevent aging.

The SPF 15 is not enough for daily protection but nice to have.
