“Break up with lines and hit refresh. Powered by plant-derived growth factors and plant-stem cells, this lightweight, medical-grade gel-serum targets multiple signs of aging-visibly firming, plumping, and lifting skin while supporting skin's natural repair process and cell renewal.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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: nicotiana benthamiana hexapeptide-40 sh-oligopeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, tetrapeptide-21
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-5, Tetrapeptide-21 + 3 moreMay help
“It boosts collagen and hyaluronic acid production and is proven to reduce the appearance and depth of even the most stubborn wrinkles.”
This product contains nicotiana benthamiana hexapeptide-40 sh-oligopeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, tetrapeptide-21. These ingredients 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-oxidationSide benefit · Ubiquinone, Corallina officinalis extract + 7 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
