“DESCRIPTION Bliv U Collagen Bouncing Firming Gel Mask offers instant hydration, firmness, and a youthful complexion.”

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: alanine, arginine.

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: arginine, chondrus crispus extract.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, ascorbic acid polypeptide, copper tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-9, niacinamide, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-56, tripeptide-1

NiacinamideHeroEffect: HighIs proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production~3.2–3.9%

It stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of collagen in skin. It is released in skin wounds and inflammation to support healing.

Source: Lila Beauty

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine, niacinamide, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, ascorbic acid polypeptide, aspartic acid, copper tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-9, lysine, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-56, serine, threonine, tripeptide-1.

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.

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: alanine, cysteine.

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

Product summary

"Bliv: U - Buy Bliv: U Collagen Bouncing Firming Gel Mask in Australia - Korean Skincare and Cosmetics" is effective for: Moisturizing, Evens skin tone, Anti-aging and Anti-blemish

Ingredient callouts

A good concentration of Niacinamide (3.20% - 3.90%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
Peptides (tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, nonapeptide-1 0.25% - 0.45%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.25% - 0.45%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.55%, copper tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.30% - 0.55%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.30% - 0.55%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.40% - 0.60%, hexapeptide-9 0.35% - 0.65%, palmitoyl tripeptide-56 0.40% - 0.60%, ascorbic acid polypeptide 0.40% - 0.60% and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.45% - 0.65%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
Adenosine 1.70% - 2.00%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
Humectants (sucrose 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.25% - 0.45%, hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.45%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, histidine 0.25% - 0.45%, arginine 0.25% - 0.45%, alanine 0.25% - 0.45%, aspartic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, glutamic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, glycine 0.25% - 0.45%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.25% - 0.45%, hexapeptide-9 0.35% - 0.65%, sodium hyaluronate 0.50% - 0.75%, lactobacillus ferment 1.10% - 1.40%, betaine 1.40% - 1.70% and glycerin 4.20% - 5.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
