Anti-agingPentapeptide-59, Butyrospermum parkii butterMay help
“Peptide based SensAmone helps calm irritated skin, while daylight activated Luminescine helps blur fine lines, wrinkles and imperfections, leaving your skin smooth and flawless.”
This product contains pentapeptide-59. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Pentapeptide-59 + 5 moreWorks
“A lightweight multifunctional essence that delivers instant soothing hydration, while offering a boost of skin-perfecting actives.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium pca.
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).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia oleifera leaf extract, Rosa damascena flower water + 7 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (camellia oleifera leaf extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
