Evens skin toneYeast extractNot delivered
“To improve the roughness and brighten the skin tone, promotes the absorption of subsequent skincare products.”
This product contains ingredients (yeast extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Yeast Clarifying & Exfoliating Serum”
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.
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Yeast extract, Sodium pca + 2 moreWorks
“Notable products include the Advanced C 10% Antioxidizing Serum, Yeast Clarifying & Exfoliating Serum, Hydra B5 Moisture Enhancing Serum and Fullerene 3D Multi Lift Serum, which are all formulated to fight signs of aging.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": sodium pca, yeast extract.
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 · Yeast extractMay help
This product contains antioxidants (yeast 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.
