“Lime Caviar Collagen-Rich Firming Cream”
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.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Anti-aging4 ingredients credited for this claimLimited evidence
“DPHP helps stimulate collagen to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.Plumps Nutrient-rich avocado oil immerses skin in a bath of moisture to restore suppleness.This cream leaves a Cosmos certified floral lime scent.100% of the ingredients are of natural origin. Vegan.”
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.These ingredients - butyrospermum parkii butter, dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline - 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 claimNo evidence
“This care Smooth Caviar lemon extract is a rich source of AHAs that help remove dead skin to reveal a fresher complexion.Firms naturally derived high-tech active ingredient Sepilift?”
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.
Evens skin toneNo ingredient credited for this claimNo evidence
“Lime Caviar Extract, is rich in AHAs to promote fresh, radiant skin tone.”
