Ingredient callouts

Ceramides (ceramide as 0.10% - 0.35%, ceramide ap 0.10% - 0.35%, ceramide ns 0.10% - 0.40%, ceramide np 0.10% - 0.45%, ceramide eop 0.10% - 0.40% and phytosphingosine 0.10% - 0.45%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
Humectants (histidine 0.05% - 0.25%, glycine 0.05% - 0.30%, alanine 0.05% - 0.30%, aspartic acid 0.10% - 0.35%, glycine 0.10% - 0.35%, sodium hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.35%, hydrolyzed collagen 0.10% - 0.45%, trehalose 0.10% - 0.40%, arginine 1.00% - 1.45%, betaine 1.30% - 2.00% and glycerin 3.30% - 4.90%).

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: alanine, arginine.

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: arginine, cholesterol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide as, ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns, phytosphingosine

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

Anti-aging

This product contains aspartic acid, serine, threonine. 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.

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An amino-acid that helps increase skin hydration and might help to slightly improve skin firmness, potentially reducing lines and wrinkles

serine 0.1% - 0.35%

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (cysteine) 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.

cysteine 0.01% - 0.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might help neutralize free radicals in skin and might be helpful against hyperpigmentation

tocopheryl acetate 0.1% - 0.35%

Concentration: Insufficient!

A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
