The product has a relatively lightweight gel-cream consistency. Some of the moisturizing ingredients that this product contains are glycerin, dipropylene glycol, astrocaryum murumuru (palm) seed butter, sorbitol, trehalose, squalane, and sodium hyaluronate.
It features antioxidants such as polygonum cuspidatum (Japanese knotweed) root extract, scutellaria baicalensis (skullcap) root extract, algae extract, betula alba (birch) bark extract, linoleic acid, and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E). Skullcap root extract and linoleic acid also have anti-inflammatory properties.
The product does not contain fragrance or parabens.
Even though the product contains a variety of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients, it is hampered by the amount of alcohol it has (third on the ingredient list). It makes the product unsuitable for most skin types.
(Another ingredient that might cause irritation is coleus barbatus (part of the mint family) extract.)Without the alcohol, the product would have the potential to be a good night-time moisturizer for those with combination or oily skin.

I've been anxious to try this but after your review I'm thinking twice now. I'll save my money on something less "alcohol-y" (if that's even a word :oP). Thanks!
