“What Else You Need to Know: This skincare-makeup hybrid primer holds makeup for up to 18 hours and hydrates for up to 24 hours.”
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:
fructooligosaccharides, fructose.
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: ceramide np, palmitoyl tripeptide-1.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, panthenol
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 2 moreMay help
“The cooling sorbet gel includes a powerful Hydrapep™ complex with peptides, ceramides, and mimosa flower extract to visibly lift, hydrate, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5. 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.

Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide np 1.00% - 1.20%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.50% - 0.75% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 1.10% - 1.40%). 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.
- An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 1.40% - 1.70%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
- Humectants (fructose 0.25% - 0.45%, fructooligosaccharides 0.25% - 0.45%, panthenol 1.40% - 1.70% and glycerin 4.60% - 5.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
