English term or phrase: Moisturize and hydrate
J'ai toujours cru que moisturize = hydrater alors là je sèche ! ;-)
Des idées ? Ils veulent absolument deux verbes puisque leur produit est unique, extraordinaire etc...
Merci !

adoucit ( oops - overgenerous with my \"d\" this morning!) Last week I couldn\'t get the machine to type twice the same letter now it repeats them when I don\'t want it to!

Explanation:
#

What is the difference between moisturize and hydrate?
Both mean to “add water”.

# Moisturize is to replenish lost liquid, to add moisture or lock moisture in.

# Hydrate is to provide moisture to the skin, to cause it to take up water.
