“The Most Effective” is the most coveted phrase on every cream, lotion, and serum. Every brand is trying to convince a potential buyer about its highly potent and effective moisturizer. While we might be skeptical about “The Most Effective” moisturizer, we do rely on the brand’s words.

- (2) to seal the moisture in, so the water does not evaporate.
