This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (21.50% (declared)) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 3.30% - 4.90% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.10% - 1.70%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
Humectants (allantoin 1.10% - 1.70%, panthenol 3.30% - 4.90%, sodium hyaluronate 4.60% - 6.80% and sodium lactate 25.00% - 38.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Does not work for

Anti-blemish

Anti-aging

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

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.

Moisturizing

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": allantoin, sodium hyaluronate.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

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