Anti-agingAdenosine, Ascorbyl glucoside + 1 moreWorks well
“Life Plankton Regenerating Serum: improve 10 signs of ageing with our REGENERATING PROGRAM.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: ascorbyl glucoside.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
Evens skin toneAscorbyl glucoside, Bifida ferment lysate + 1 moreMay help
“3- RADIATE: 82% had a more even tone”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: ascorbyl glucoside, bifida ferment lysate.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Bifida ferment lysate, Ascorbyl glucoside + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (ascorbyl glucoside, bifida ferment lysate) 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.

“LIFE PLANKTON™ NIGHT & DAY AMPOULES 24H continuous ampoules treatment to fill lines and rapidly replump”
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, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.
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: squalane, caprylyl glycol.
