MoisturizingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 11 moreWorks well
“The formula also boosts hydration and plumping, while improving the look of visible discolouration and dark circles.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: isopropyl myristate, vitis vinifera seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 3 moreMay help
“Inspired by the effects of in-clinic treatments, this peptide-packed treatment gel is powered by a concentrated blend of anti-ageing ingredients to target signs of ageing instantly.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, centella asiatica extract, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Centella asiatica extract, Vitis vinifera seed oil + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
