Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.05% - 0.30%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, 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 theynare helpful. Peptides 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.
Humectants (glycerin 2.30% - 3.40% and manganese pca 0.05% - 0.25%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

This product contains ascorbyl glucoside, palmitoyl tripeptide-38. 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.

ascorbyl glucoside 1.7% - 2.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products

palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Moisturizing

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, manganese pca.

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: dimethicone, squalane.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-38

palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

dimethicone 0.85% - 1.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish

glycerin 2.3% - 3.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

Evens skin tone

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: ascorbyl glucoside.

ascorbyl glucoside 1.7% - 2.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

glycyrrhiza glabra root extract 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (ascorbyl glucoside) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

ascorbyl glucoside 1.7% - 2.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

oryzanol 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An anti-oxidant that helps stabilize product formulations. Might help neutralise free radicals in skin

olea europaea leaf extract 0.05% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties but evidence for effectiveness in skin is missing
