BABOR Doctor Babor Lifting Cellular: Collagen Boost Infusion
Works for
MoisturizingTripeptide-1, Carnosine + 2 moreWorks well
“Then apply a moisturising cream.”
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:
carnosine, dextran.
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: tripeptide-1.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: tripeptide-1
Anti-agingCarnosine, Tripeptide-1May help
“It corrects wrinkles and decreasing tissue firmness and tangibly improves the complexion.”
This product contains carnosine, tripeptide-1. These ingredients 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Carnosine, Ribes nigrum leaf extractWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (carnosine) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.45%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (dextran 0.05% - 0.20% and carnosine 1.60% - 2.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
