“Reveal a healthy, hydrated, and more youthful-looking complexion with this daily moisturizer designed for combination to oily skin.”

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: carnosine, dextran.

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, carthamus tinctorius seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-2, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, dipeptide-4, panthenol, phytosphingosine, tripeptide-1

Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Acaderma - Better With Age - Replenishing Light Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Panthenol, carnosine, dextran, fructooligosaccharides and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine, tripeptide-1 and carthamus tinctorius seed oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.40% - 0.65%, ceramide np 0.40% - 0.60%, ceramide eop 0.35% - 0.65% and ceramide ap 0.30% - 0.60%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (dipeptide-4 0.35% - 0.60%, acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.50% - 0.75%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.50% - 0.75% and tripeptide-1 0.35% - 0.65%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 1.40% - 1.80% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
