What does the product description say?

Strengthens Defense with High Moisture Retention.

Source: Yesstyle

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, glyceryl glucoside.

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: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, hydrolyzed collagen.

triethylhexanoin 1.6% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin

glycerin 4.1% - 5%

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

glyceryl glucoside 0.35% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Can help to restore skin barrier function and soften its upper layer

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Enhance moisture retention capability and reduce the appearance of fine lines, leaving skin smooth, refresh and supple.

Source: Yesstyle

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.This ingredient - dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Is claimed to stimulate collagen and elastin production, as well as work as an anti-oxidant. There is however not enough evidence for its effectiveness

tocopherol 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

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
