Science: Eucerin Moisturizer Reviews by NvWah_Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion, SPF 30

It is good to use SPF 30 or above for daily protection, and it is good that this product provides both UVA and UVB protection.

The moisturizing factors are ok. There is quite large amount of silicone in this product, which will make skin feel instantly smoother but that effect is only temporary.

It would be better if there are some antioxidant content.

Interestingly there is lactic acid in it. Also known as alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), it can be synthetic or extracted from milk. As a proven anti-aging ingredient, it exfoliates surface cells by breaking up the connective materials. But it may irritate mucous membranes and cause irritation.

Safety alert: Cautious
review based on scientific information of the product ingredients.

1st ingredient		is water.
2nd ingredient		Glycerin transports water from the environment and from the lower layers of skin (dermis) to surface skin (epidermis). It softens the skin. Glycerin is a substance naturally present in skin which helps maintain the epidermis and prevent dryness or scaling.
3rd ingredient		C12 15 alkyl lactate is used as an emollient and thickening agent in cosmetics.
4th ingredient		Dimethicone is silicone that gives skin a slip and silky feeling. It also acts as a water-resistant emollient.
