Ingredient callouts
- this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.45% - 1.10%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
- Humectants (saccharide isomerate 0.45% - 1.10%, arginine 0.35% - 0.75%, hydrolyzed collagen 1.20% - 1.80%, sodium hyaluronate 2.90% - 4.30% and mannitol 22.00% - 33.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?
With Hyallon, elastin, collagen undiluted solution to make the skin plump and firm from the inside.
Source: Yesstyle
This product contains dipeptide-1, tripeptide-10. 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.
A type of peptide. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have anti-aging benefits
Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

Freeze Dried Hyaluronic Acid Elastin Collagen HFD Serum
Source: From product name
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:
arginine, hydrolyzed collagen.
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: arginine, hydrolyzed collagen.
