Works for
Evens skin toneAscorbyl glucosideMay help
“Estompe et prévient les taches brunes et irrégularités pigmentaires en contrôlant le processus de pigmentation de la peau.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: ascorbyl glucoside.
Anti-agingAscorbyl glucoside, TocopherolMay help
“Atténue les rides et les signes de l'âge.”
This product contains ascorbyl glucoside. 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, Sodium hyaluronate + 3 moreWorks
“Hydrate, raffermit et lisse visiblement la peau.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Ascorbyl glucoside, Haematococcus pluvialis extract + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (ascorbyl glucoside, haematococcus pluvialis 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.
