BABOR ReVersive Pro Youth Cream Rich

Based on the ingredients included, "BABOR - ReVersive Pro Youth Cream Rich" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. BABOR - ReVersive Pro Youth Cream Rich ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin, mannitol and pantolactone) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (sesamum indicum seed oil, butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride, simmondsia chinensis seed oil and cetearyl alcohol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

• This product also contains vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.15% - 0.25%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
• This moistruizer also contains peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.05% - 0.15% and acetyl tetrapeptide-11 0.10% - 0.15%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of peptides is, but it is very likely that peptides in skincare are helpful. They might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
