Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
Tea extract. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin
A plant extract tha can have anti-oxidant properties, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking
A berry extract. Might have some anti-oxidant properties
Mostly used as a fragrance. Might have some anti-oxidant effect
Moisturizing
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, jojoba esters.
An emollient made of jojoba oil. Helps soften the skin and support its barrier function
A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
Non-drying alcohol that helps water and oil mix together. Also serves as an emollient
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
aging properties of antioxidants that reduce free radical damage.
Source: Skinstore
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 camellia sinensis extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
ARCONA Cranberry Gommage is a purifying cranberry exfoliant that cleanses, tones and decongests enlarged pores, leaving skin visibly clearer, smoother and more refined.
Source: Ulta
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.
