What the product description says
“Enhance skin's natural hydration with the Antipodes Rejoice Light Facial Day Cream; a lightweight daily moisturiser that plumps skin with lasting moisture and nourishing organic ingredients.”
Source: Mankind

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).

“Loaded with natural antioxidants and essential fatty acids, nutrient-rich Avocado oil helps to create a firm, plump visage and diminish the appearance of fine lines.”

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.
