Works for
MoisturizingOligopeptide-1, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 + 7 moreWorks well
“Formulated with clinically tested peptides, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Oligopeptide-1 in a soothing, hydrating serum that doubles as a lightweight moisturiser.”
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, pentylene glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, oligopeptide-1
Anti-agingOligopeptide-1, Acetyl hexapeptide-8May help
“This multi-action serum supports skin longevity, targeting fine lines and expression wrinkles from multiple angles.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, oligopeptide-1. 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Haematococcus pluvialis extract, Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extractMay help
This product contains antioxidants (haematococcus pluvialis extract) 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.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.50% and oligopeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Humectants (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.50%, sodium hyaluronate 0.35% - 0.75%, betaine 1.20% - 1.90% and glycerin 4.10% - 6.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
