“Exfoliating hydrators plus hyaluronic acid visibly smooth lines for softer-looking skin.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, lactobacillus ferment.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, urea
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Acetyl octapeptide-3 + 3 moreMay help
“-Tri-Peptide Firming Complex: Helps visibly lift & soften the look of fine lines”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-2. There is some human evidence that these ingredients help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.

Ingredient callouts
- This product contains acids (lactic acid 1.20% - 1.40%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
- Peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-2 1.40% - 1.80%, acetyl octapeptide-3 1.70% - 2.00% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.90% - 2.40%). 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 (lactobacillus ferment 0.05% - 0.10%, urea 0.70% - 1.05%, sodium hyaluronate 0.95% - 1.15%, acetyl octapeptide-3 1.70% - 2.00%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.90% - 2.40% and glycerin 2.40% - 3.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
