FAQ
Yes, this moisturizer is specifically formulated to provide lasting hydration and is well-suited for dry and normal skin types.
Plumping refers to the effect of making the skin appear fuller and more hydrated, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Ingredients like glycerin and emollients contribute to this effect.
