Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.30% - 0.55% and ceramide np 0.30% - 0.55%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.50% - 0.75%). 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.
Humectants (sodium lactate 0.25% - 0.45%, betaine 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.50%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.50%, polyglutamic acid 0.30% - 0.55%, panthenol 0.40% - 0.60%, arginine 0.40% - 0.60% and glycerin 4.30% - 5.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1. This ingredient 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.

palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.5% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. Naturally present in skin. Typically has large molecule size unless advertised otherwise on the product label. Helps support skin's barrier function and may help to reduce inflammation

lactic acid 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

This skincare solution also contains phyto-mucin to help moisturise skin, while peptides and panthenol help to support a more even skin tone with boosted plumpness and improved texture.

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, betaine.

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, cholesterol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, panthenol, phytosphingosine

sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.5%
