“Fortified with 50,000mg apple water and patented Mega Vitamin comprising of Vitamins B3, C and E, pine root and honey extracts, this serum nourishes skin and strengthen its natural protective barrier without causing irritation.”
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:
arginine, betaine.
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: arginine, caprylyl glycol.

“A revitalizing ampoule formulated with Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract and Laminaria Japonica Extract to brighten dull skin tone and enhance skin clarity, while delivering hydration.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

In this concentration (0.15% - 0.50%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Humectants (arginine 0.20% - 0.70%, betaine 0.80% - 1.25%, sodium hyaluronate 3.10% - 4.70% and glycerin 23.00% - 34.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
