“Organic oils wheat germ, rice and sesame nourish, hydrate and regenerate the skin.”
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:
betaine, glycerin.
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, oryza sativa bran oil.
Evens skin toneGlycyrrhiza uralensis root extractNot delivered
“Evens the skin color, reduces patches and discolorations, revitalizes the skin, and combats free radicals.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza uralensis root 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.
Anti-agingTocopherolNot delivered
“It combats the oxidative stress, and reduces the signs of aging.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
