MoisturizingParaffinum liquidum, Acetyl tetrapeptide-2 + 16 moreStrong evidence
“Experience supple, richly-hydrated skin with our signature balancing milk, a testament to our pioneering legacy in milk skincare.”
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:
alcaligenes polysaccharides, 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: dimethicone, alcaligenes polysaccharides.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-2, paraffinum liquidum
Anti-agingAcetyl tetrapeptide-2, Limnanthes alba seed oil + 1 moreModerate evidence
“Infused with our proprietary OSK9 Peptide OSK9 peptide and a new star ingredient, Acetyl tetrapeptide-2, this formula provides essential hydration, promotes an uplifted appearance and a healthy glow.”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-2. This ingredient 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.
