“Key Ingredients Blackberry Seed Oil Adds relief to itchy, scaly, irritated skin conditions Vitamin E Help combat wrinkles, blotches, large pores, acne blemishes Concentrate Aloe Leaf juice For added hydration and anti-inflammation Vitamin C Tackles Acne Scars and Dark Spots Other ingredients (100% Vegan)”
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, mannitol.
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: squalane, glycine soja oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: salicyloyl phytosphingosine
Evens skin toneCapryloyl salicylic acid, Bakuchiol + 1 moreWorks well
“Key Ingredients Blackberry Seed Oil Adds relief to itchy, scaly, irritated skin conditions Vitamin E Help combat wrinkles, blotches, large pores, acne blemishes Concentrate Aloe Leaf juice For added hydration and anti-inflammation Vitamin C Tackles Acne Scars and Dark Spots Other ingredients (100% Vegan)”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: bakuchiol
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: capryloyl salicylic acid.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-agingBakuchiol, Salicyloyl phytosphingosine + 3 moreWorks well
“Key Ingredients Blackberry Seed Oil Adds relief to itchy, scaly, irritated skin conditions Vitamin E Help combat wrinkles, blotches, large pores, acne blemishes Concentrate Aloe Leaf juice For added hydration and anti-inflammation Vitamin C Tackles Acne Scars and Dark Spots Other ingredients (100% Vegan)”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains bakuchiol.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
Anti-blemishCapryloyl salicylic acid, Bakuchiol + 1 moreMay help
“it fights Breakouts & Acne scars”
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains bakuchiol.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: capryloyl salicylic acid
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Bakuchiol, Bisabolol + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (bakuchiol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
ExfoliationSide benefit · Capryloyl salicylic acidWorks well
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: capryloyl salicylic acid.

A plant extract that is, though different in chemical structure, acts similar to retinoids. First studies show that it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, reduce clogged pores and blemishes, and reduce inflammation. There is no conclusive evidence that bakuchiol is as effective as retinol however. The study that directly compared retinol with bakuchiol used bakuchiol applied twice daily compared to once per day for the retinol. According to this study, bakuchiol is less irritating than retinol. Bakuchiol is extracted from seeds of Babchi plant. Other parts of the plant contain coumarins that could cause allergic and irritant reactions. These compounds should be removed in the extraction process when bakuchiol is produced, but it is a good idea to be cautious and stay away from products that include the Babchi plant extracts other than purified bakuchiol to avoid irritation

Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.

Ingredient callouts
- this product contains Bakuchiol (0.70% - 1.05%). It is a plant extract that is has a similar effect to that of Retinoids but with less irritation. Bakuchiol can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, reduce clogged pores and blemishes, and reduce inflammation.
- Ceramides (salicyloyl phytosphingosine 0.70% - 1.05%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Humectants (salicyloyl phytosphingosine 0.70% - 1.05%, glycerin 1.10% - 1.40% and mannitol 1.50% - 1.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
