This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.15% - 0.25%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
Peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.10% - 0.15%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
Humectants (glycerin 4.10% - 5.10% and dextran 0.05% - 0.15%). 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: dextran, 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: dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-2

dimethicone 2.4% - 2.9%

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

dextran 0.05% - 0.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the most upper layer of the skin. Derived from sugar

acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.1% - 0.15%

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

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (daucus carota sativa seed oil). In theory, they could help neutralize free radicals in skin and lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun), but there is no evidence that these ingredients can have a noticeable effect in skin.

daucus carota sativa seed oil 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant oil that might help neutralize free radicals and have an anti-bacterial effect

daucus carota sativa root extract 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Carrot extract. Might have anti-oxidant properties and be used to add orange color

terminalia ferdinandiana fruit extract 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant effect in skin, but evidence is lacking
