Chantecaille Gold Recovery Intense Concentrate PM
Works for
MoisturizingPanthenol, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 + 13 moreWorks well
“Sol de Janeiro bring you a nourishing, moisture-rich cream designed to boost the skin’s elasticity.”
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 heptapeptide-9, acetyl hexapeptide-8, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, panthenol
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Acetyl heptapeptide-9 + 3 moreMay help
“Blended with 24K Gold Heptapeptide to diminish the intensity of wrinkles, the concentrate has potent anti-ageing effects to create a more youthful illusion.”
This product contains acetyl heptapeptide-9, acetyl hexapeptide-8, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate. There is some human evidence that these ingredients help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (acetyl heptapeptide-9 0.15% - 0.60%, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 0.15% - 0.65% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.20% - 0.75%). 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.
- An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 1.10% - 1.60%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
- Humectants (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.20% - 0.75%, panthenol 1.10% - 1.60%, diglycerin 2.50% - 3.80% and glycerin 3.20% - 4.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
