What the product description says
“The effective solution targets various areas of concern, such as fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles, promoting a bright and youthful-looking appearance.”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product contains barley sh-oligopeptide-1. This ingredient 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.

What the product description says
“Boasting an ultra-hydrating formula, the gel serum seeks to regulate the skin’s moisture levels for a smoother, more supple finish.”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

What the product description says
“With hyaluronic acid and a higher concentration of EGF (the brand’s signature plant-based replica of Epidermal Growth Factor – the protein that encourages the production of collagen and elastin) you can expect reduced puffiness and fine lines with even tone in as little as 15 minutes.”
