“5 types of Hyaluronic Acids, Panthenol and Allantoin helps to improve skin's hydration.”
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:
arginine, 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: arginine, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
ExfoliationSide benefit the brand mentions · Betaine salicylate, Salix alba bark extract + 1 moreWorks well
“Gently remove dead skin cells and impurites from pores with AHA, BHA and White Willow Bark Extract.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: betaine salicylate.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Centella asiatica extract, Salix alba bark extract + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
Anti-agingSide benefit · Centella asiatica extract, Hyaluronic acidMay help
This product contains centella asiatica extract. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
Anti-blemishSide benefit the brand mentions · Betaine salicylate, Centella asiatica extract + 2 moreMay help
“Gently remove dead skin cells and impurites from pores with AHA, BHA and White Willow Bark Extract.”
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains betaine salicylate.
