“Pineapple and mango extracts gently exfoliate skin, giving it softness, elasticity and smoothness.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: hydroxyethyl urea.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Betaine + 11 moreWorks
“The thin, lightweight tencel sheet has been drenched in a silky essence of active ingredients and fruit extracts to effectively deliver intense moisture and active ingredients to the skin.”
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:
arginine, betaine.
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: arginine, dimethicone.
Evens skin toneMorus alba bark extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extractNot delivered
“Tangerine and yuzu extracts level the colour and texture of the epidermis, brighten freckles and pigmented spots.”
This product might help improve the skin tone through exfoliation. In other words, it helps to speed up the shedding of cells from the upper layer of the skin, and this might help reduce hyperpigmentation.
