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

Ingredient callouts

  • This product contains acids (lactic acid 0.20% - 0.70% and lactic acid 0.20% - 0.70%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
  • This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.20% - 0.75%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
  • This product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.20% - 0.70%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
  • Peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.20% - 0.75%, acetyl tetrapeptide-11 0.20% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.75%, tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.70%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.75% and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 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.
  • Humectants (polyglutamic acid 0.20% - 0.75%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.75%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.70%, galactoarabinan 0.35% - 0.80%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.70%, soluble collagen 0.35% - 0.75%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.75%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.70%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.75%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.70%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.75%, sodium lactate 0.20% - 0.75%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.70%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.75%, sodium lactate 0.20% - 0.75% and glycerin 1.60% - 2.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
