Peptides (dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.45% - 1.05%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
Humectants (hyaluronic acid 0.20% - 0.75%, glycerin 4.10% - 6.10% and biosaccharide gum-1 0.15% - 0.55%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

This product contains arabidopsis thaliana extract, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate. 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.

arabidopsis thaliana extract 0.6% - 1.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Plant extract that might be helpful in repairing sun damage but evidence of effectiveness in skin are lacking

dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

hyaluronic acid 0.2% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. Naturally present in skin. Typically has large molecule size unless advertised otherwise on the product label. Helps support skin's barrier function and may help to reduce inflammation

Moisturizing

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate

glycerin 4.1% - 6.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

biosaccharide gum-1 0.15% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and is claimed to provide a longer-lasting hydration because of its ability to create a water-binding film on the surface of the skin

hyaluronic acid 0.2% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Evens skin tone
