“111SKIN's signature NAC Y²™ complex and Glutathione help support the skin barrier post-exfoliation, revealing a smoother and more youthful-looking complexion.”
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, caprylyl glycol.
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: beta-sitosterol, glycosphingolipids.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: lactobionic acid
“Developed to deliver professional-inspired resurfacing results at home, this rinse-off peel combines a precise blend of AHAs, BHAs and PHAs with Papain and Milk Thistle Extract to gently yet effectively exfoliate the skin.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: lactobionic acid, mandelic acid, salicylic acid.
“111SKIN's signature NAC Y²™ complex and Glutathione help support the skin barrier post-exfoliation, revealing a smoother and more youthful-looking complexion.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains lactobionic acid.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
“With continued use, skin appears smoother, brighter and more even-toned with improved radiance.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glutathione, lactobionic acid, mandelic acid, salicylic acid
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
This product contains antioxidants (glutathione, lactobionic acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: salicylic acid. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: lactobionic acid, mandelic acid

More about PropanediolHelps shed the upper layer of dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing smoother, brighter skin. It can help to reduce hyperpigmentation. It has anti-bacterial properties, and might help to reduce blemishes, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It is considered to be gentler than glycolic acid
More about Mandelic acidA gelling agent that thickens the product consistency and leaves the skin with a velvety finish
More about Hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymerA polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing a smoother, more even skin. PHAs tend to be gentler on the skin compared to AHAs (for example, glycolic acid). It also has hydrating properties and helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help calm down inflammation in skin and support restoration of the barrier function. It has an anti-oxidant effect as well. It can help reduce fine line, wrinkles and improve skin elasticity
More about Lactobionic acidUsed for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
More about Salicylic acidOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
More about GlycerinA stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C

More about Sorbitan isostearateHelps oil and water mix together
More about Polyglyceryl-6 laurateHelps soften the upper layer of the skin
More about Polyglyceryl-10 oleateAn enzyme extracted from papaya fruit. Can have an exfoliating effect on the skin. Can be irritating
More about PapainHelps water and oil mix together and stabilize the product formulation
More about Sorbitan palmitateHelps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
More about CarbomerMight be able to help neutralize free radical, calm down inflammation in skin, and even skin tone
More about Silybum marianum extractUsed to thicken product formulation. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
More about AlginUsed mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
More about LecithinA compound obtained from horse chestnut. It is claimed that this chemical can improve circulation, but there is no evidence available that it works in skin
More about EscinA type of lipids naturally present in skin. They can be converted to ceramides in skin
More about GlycosphingolipidsA peptide that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and reduce melanin production resulting in skin lightening effect and reduction in hyperpigmentation. It can also help attract moisture to the upper layer of the skin
More about GlutathioneA phytosterol that can support skin's barrier function and help the skin stay hydrated
More about Beta-sitosterolPlant extract. Might have some anti-oxidant properties. Can be irritating
More about Aesculus hippocastanum seed extractCan work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
More about Citric acidAn aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients
