Works for
Anti-agingAdenosine, Sh-oligopeptide-1Works well
“Brand from South Korea Bueno. Benefits A serum enriched with 50% EGF and contains Adenosine to improve appearance of wrinkles and address skin imbalance and dryness by replenishing skin vitality.”
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: sh-oligopeptide-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.
MoisturizingSh-oligopeptide-1, Glycerin + 9 moreWorks well
“Penetrates into deeper skin layers with 5 kinds of small molecular size peptides to effectively refine wrinkles and improve damaged skin, and replenish hydration.”
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:
arginine, biosaccharide gum-1.
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, isohexadecane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: sh-oligopeptide-1

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (sh-oligopeptide-1 0.10% - 0.35%). 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 0.15% - 0.65%. 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 (sodium chondroitin sulfate 0.15% - 0.65%, arginine 0.55% - 1.25%, biosaccharide gum-1 1.40% - 2.10%, trehalose 1.70% - 2.50% and glycerin 3.60% - 5.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
