This emulsion is "waterless", a draw for those who are looking for products without "filler" or "empty" ingredients. T The claims on this product are that it stimulates collagen production, re-balances melanin regulation, and revives the skin's hydration process. On first pass through the ingredients list, I don't see anything that directly supports the first two claims, save for some antioxidants that can indirectly impact skin elasticity and brightening. (They fight free radical damage which are the triggers for melanin overproduction and damage to skin's lipid makeup). As a moisturizer, it's pretty decent, despite the alcohol in the formula, though it may not be enough for dry skin ladies on its own.
More info on this product and others that made it into my mom's skincare stash here. She's an addict, apparently my affinity for skincare is inherited. -> https://plus.google.com/+JoanLeenonsonoquitter/posts/8XVbc1UyfbQ
