MoisturizingGlycerin, Betaine + 12 moreWorks
“A moisturizing lotion that moisturizes deep into the skin.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": allantoin, betaine.
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).
Anti-agingGlycine soja seed extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 1 moreNot delivered
“Treat problems such as age spots, freckles, and fine wrinkles caused by sunburn.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - glycine soja seed extract - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin toneDipotassium glycyrrhizate, Glycine soja seed extract + 4 moreNot delivered
“Treat problems such as age spots, freckles, and fine wrinkles caused by sunburn.”
This product contains ingredients (dipotassium glycyrrhizate, glycine soja seed extract, paeonia lactiflora root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
