The Decléor 'Anti-Pollution Hydrating Gel-Cream' sets itself apart from a number of [emerging anti-pollution skincare products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-concentrate) by featuring a particularly unique ingredient. As touted on the front of the small jar, an extract from the Moringa tree is used, which creates a rich, moisturizing and protective barrier on the skin that also works to unbond any impure particles that have become attached or absorbed by the skin. The hydrating qualities of this product also come from its inclusion of "microdroplets of oils in a 70% water-based texture."

In all, this hydration gel for the face and neck is ideal for those with normal to combination skin, with concerns of dryness, dehydration and free radical damage.

Essential oils and other ingredients are included in the product to improve the tone and texture of the skin, leaving it feeling fresh, clean and radiant.
