“Bestsellers include Wake-up Shot!, a Vitamin C-rich serum designed to brighten skin and fade hyperpigmentation, and Perfect Balance, a moisturizer that gently soothes and hydrates skin with yacon root, green carrot stem cell and Tasmanian pepper.”
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:
glycerin, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, cetearyl alcohol.

“Bestsellers include Wake-up Shot!, a Vitamin C-rich serum designed to brighten skin and fade hyperpigmentation, and Perfect Balance, a moisturizer that gently soothes and hydrates skin with yacon root, green carrot stem cell and Tasmanian pepper.”
This product contains ingredients (albizia julibrissin bark extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
