“- Brown Seaweed: Nourishes, soothes, and helps skin retain moisture.”
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, saccharide isomerate.
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, pentylene glycol.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“What Else You Need to Know: The glass’s spherical, biodegradable nanoderm crystals gently buff away dead skin cells for a smooth-as-glass feel, while the gloss delivers nutrient-rich hydration, blurs the look of fine lines, and restores the appearance of elasticity for a "just had a facial" glow that’s visible for days.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Anti-agingLaminaria digitata extractNot delivered
“- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate: An acid-free form of vitamin C that visibly enhances radiance, tightens pores, and reduces the formation of lines.”
