Product summary
What can the product work for?
Evens skin tone
3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid
2.2% -
3.3%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness:
MEDIUM
A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Can help neutralize free radicals and help 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
lactic acid
0.45% -
1.05%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
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)
retinyl palmitate
0.45% -
1%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
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
Moisturizing
glycerin
22% -
33%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

zea mays oil
1.3% -
2%
Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High
Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH
A good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function
propylene glycol
4.3% -
6.5%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness:
LOW
Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can be irritating
