Why this might work

A moisturizer containing minerals, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin E strengthens the skin's outer layer, which reduces stress signals from damaged cells. This allows immune cells in the skin to stop producing inflammatory chemicals and instead release a blocker that shuts down inflammation. At the same time, the antioxidants in the formula neutralize harmful molecules created by skin irritation, and the production of a pain and swelling-causing compound drops significantly.
