“A potent multi-tasking serum/oil hybrid, the Angela Caglia Daily Botanical Serum gives your skin a daily dose of antioxidants and vitamins to help nourish the skin, while our proprietary blend of USDA-certified, responsibly-sourced oils works in synergy to balance, nourish, and calm your skin while protecting it from daily environmental aggressors.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butter, Limnanthes alba seed oilNot delivered
“A potent multi-tasking daily botanical serum and natural retinol oil hybrid, the Angela Caglia Daily Botanical Serum gives your skin a dose of antioxidants and vitamins to help nourish the skin and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while our proprietary Lipid-Lock™️ Technology of USDA-certified, responsibly-sourced oils works to replenish what your skin loses as it ages.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
