MoisturizingCeramide np, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 26 moreStrong evidence
“A blend of olive-oil derived ceramides, skin luminosity complex, and white porcelain flower extract deliver antioxidant-rich hydration to help replenish the skin's moisture barrier and support a balanced skin microbiome, reducing visible redness by 13%*.”
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:
glycerin, polyglycerin-3.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, ceramide np, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 + 3 moreModerate evidence
“Clinically tested to enhance hydration by 49%*, improve elasticity by 31%* and even skin tone by 24%*, this rich illuminating cream imparts a supple glow instantly while infusing firming radiance and visibly reducing fine lines, wrinkles and nasogenial folds.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1. 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.
