Peptides (palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 1.30% - 1.90% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 1.70% - 2.50%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They 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.

What can the product work for?

Does not work for

Evens skin tone

Anti-aging

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains palmitoyl hexapeptide-12.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: palmitoyl tripeptide-1.

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.

palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 1.3% - 1.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

palmitoyl tripeptide-1 1.7% - 2.5%

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

panthenyl triacetate 1.9% - 2.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

What does the product description say?

Regenerating Skin Nectar with Tri Hex Technology

Source: From product name

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: squalane, glycine soja oil.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, palmitoyl tripeptide-1

panthenyl triacetate 1.9% - 2.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A stable oil-soluble derivative of vitamin B5. It can help support skin barrier and reduce inflammation in skin

squalane 0.2% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (naringenin) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

naringenin 1% - 1.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A flavanoid that can be found in high concentrations in grapefruits, oranges, other citrus fruits, and tomato skin. Early studies suggest that it might be able to help reduce inflammation in skin and neutralize free radicals

dunaliella salina extract 0.3% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A green micro-algae extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin, but solid evidence is lacking. It helps to soften the upper layer of the skin

olea europaea leaf extract 0.5% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties but evidence for effectiveness in skin is missing

Evens skin tone
