Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "Bonjour - Bio Active Resurrection Plant Night Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Bonjour - Bio Active Resurrection Plant Night Cream ticks this box. Glyceryl glucoside, trehalose, caprylyl glycol and selaginella lepidophylla extract in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Helianthus annuus seed oil unsaponifiables, oenothera biennis oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane and diheptyl succinate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

We particularly like that there is a good concentration of Niacinamide (1.50% - 2.30%) in this moisturizer. Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is a great ingredient to have in a moisturizer. 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 help improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
Adenosine 0.05% - 0.25%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e

What can the product work for?

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Activates the water path of your skin, gives your skin a deep moisturizing and improves your skin texture.

Source: Yesstyle

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: glyceryl glucoside, trehalose.

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide

caprylic/capric triglyceride 4.7% - 7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin

echium plantagineum seed oil 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A plant oil that because of its high content of alpha-linolenic acid help support skin barrier function and moisturize the skin

niacinamide 1.5% - 2.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Is 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

Anti-blemish

This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

niacinamide 1.5% - 2.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

oenothera biennis oil 5.4% - 8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can support skin barrier function

Anti-aging

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

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.

niacinamide 1.5% - 2.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

adenosine 0.05% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)

tocopherol 0.4% - 0.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

Evens skin tone

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

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.

niacinamide 1.5% - 2.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (ficus carica fruit 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.

ficus carica fruit extract 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals. The concentrations typically used in cosmetics are too small to have an effect

lonicera japonica flower extract 0.15% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. Can contain volalite oils and be irritating

oenothera biennis oil 5.4% - 8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can support skin barrier function
