What can the product work for?

Does not work for

Anti-blemish

Moisturizing

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

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).

yeast extract 39% - 59%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin

glycerin 1.2% - 1.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

propylene glycol 4% - 6.1%

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

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (yeast extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin

hypericum perforatum flower/leaf/stem extract 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract (perforate St John's-wort) that might have some anti-oxidant effect. Can be used as a fragrance and be irritating

cucumis sativus fruit extract 1.2% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect
