Ingredient callouts
Peptides (acetyl octapeptide-3 1.30% - 1.60%). 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 (sodium pca 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium lactate 0.30% - 0.60%, urea 0.45% - 0.65%, glycine 0.50% - 0.75%, fructose 0.55% - 0.85%, inositol 0.60% - 0.90%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 1.10% - 1.40%, acetyl octapeptide-3 1.30% - 1.60%, glycerin 2.70% - 3.30% and trehalose 7.90% - 9.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
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:
fructose, glycerin.
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:
squalane, polyglyceryl-6 stearate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: acetyl octapeptide-3, urea
This product contains acetyl octapeptide-3.
This ingredient 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.

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
