What the product description says
“Soothes and hydrates skin with vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, Glacial Glycoproteins.”
Source: Lila Beauty

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: aspartic acid, glycerin.

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: linolenic acid, cetearyl alcohol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: copper palmitoyl heptapeptide-14, heptapeptide-15 palmitate, linoleic acid, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-9

What the product description says
“Prevents fine lines and wrinkles.”
Source: Lila Beauty

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains heptapeptide-15 palmitate.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: aspartic acid, copper palmitoyl heptapeptide-14, ferulic acid, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-9.

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.

The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.

Evens skin tone
Side benefit · Ferulic acid, Salicylic acid + 1 more
May help

This product might be able to help reduce hyperpigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains salicylic acid. The effect, if any, is likely to be small. 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.

    It is a great cream for very dry and mature skins. Maybe too much hydrating for myself (33 y), but I still loved it. It blends well with makeup.

  • CASintheUV· Jul 2023Recommends

    A really nice moisturizer but alas for me it was irritating with the addition of vitamin c. So close!

Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "ACURE - Radically Rejuvenating Whipped Night Cream" works well for improving skin hydration The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Copper palmitoyl heptapeptide-14, heptapeptide-15 palmitate, aspartic acid, glycerin and pca 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). Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, linolenic acid, cetearyl alcohol and coco-caprylate/caprate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • This moisturizer also contains Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.35% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.35% - 0.85%, heptapeptide-15 palmitate 0.35% - 0.85%, copper palmitoyl heptapeptide-14 0.45% - 1.05%, sh-polypeptide-11 0.55% - 1.35% and sh-oligopeptide-1 1.20% - 1.80%). 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 they are 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.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: salicylic acid and lecithin
