MoisturizingPanthenol, Acetyl tetrapeptide-11 + 11 moreWorks well
“It is intensively moisturized and more supple.”
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetearyl alcohol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-11, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, panthenol
Anti-agingAcetyl tetrapeptide-11, Acetyl tetrapeptide-9 + 3 moreMay help
“The BABOR laboratories have developed the PRO YOUTH Complex to combat the most common signs of skin aging, such as loss of elasticity, wrinkling and lack of radiance.”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-11, acetyl tetrapeptide-9. 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.
