ACURE Radically Rejuvenating Whipped Night Cream

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.
