Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
BABOR, Skinovage This exclusive serum helps improve the skin's moisture level and revitalises the skin through a combination of ATP and algin.
Source: Allbeauty
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, glycerin.
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).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
It also improves skin elasticity for a more youthful complexion.
Source: Allbeauty
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
The skin appears more even, vibrant, firm, and radiant.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
The papaya extract helps eliminate dead skin cells and boost skin regeneration.
Source: Allbeauty
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.
