What the product description says
“81.82% say their skin felt instantly hydrated. 83.64% say their skin looked brighter.”
Source: Chantecaille

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

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: acetyl hexapeptide-38, acetyl hexapeptide-8, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate

Product summary

"Chantecaille - 25th Anniversary Bespoke Bio Lifting Serum+" is effective for: Moisturizing

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • Peptides (n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 0.20% - 0.35%, acetyl hexapeptide-38 0.20% - 0.40% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.30% - 0.60%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
  • Humectants (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.30% - 0.60%, sodium hyaluronate 0.30% - 0.60%, diglycerin 1.80% - 2.20%, imperata cylindrica root extract 2.20% - 2.70% and glycerin 5.50% - 6.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
