Anti-agingAspartic acid, Centella asiatica extract + 3 moreMay help
“Significantly boosts skin elasticity and reduces sagging”
This product contains aspartic acid, centella asiatica extract, serine, threonine. These ingredients 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.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Centella asiatica extract, Taraxacum officinale extractMay help
This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica 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.
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Glycerin, Simmondsia chinensis seed oil + 13 moreWorks
“Our powerful, clinically proven men's face serum is formulated for men's thicker skin with protein peptides in an ultra concentrated formula to penetrate multiple layers of skin for a more youthful appearance.”
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, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
