Anti-agingNiacinamide, Nicotiana sylvestris leaf cell culture + 1 moreWorks well
“Designed as a complete approach to brightening and clarity, this advanced formula goes beyond dark spot correction to visibly even skin tone, smooth texture, refine the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and boost hydration for multidimensional radiance.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
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.
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Panthenol + 15 moreWorks well
“Designed as a complete approach to brightening and clarity, this advanced formula goes beyond dark spot correction to visibly even skin tone, smooth texture, refine the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and boost hydration for multidimensional radiance.”
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:
acetyl hydroxyproline, glycerin.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide, panthenol
Evens skin toneIsobutylamido thiazolyl resorcinol, Niacinamide + 1 moreWorks well
“An illuminating eye serum clinically proven to visibly reduce the look of dark spots around the eyes by 54%*.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: isobutylamido thiazolyl resorcinol.
In addition, this product contains niacinamide. This ingredient (ingredients) might help reduce hyperpigmentation, but the effect, if any, is likely to be small.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: paeonia lactiflora root extract.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
