Clé de Peau Beauté Hydro-Clarifying Lotion

Anti-agingSerine, TocopherolMay help
“Drawing from this knowledge and using state-of-the-art technology, our exclusive ingredient, Skin-Empowering Illuminator, was specially developed to enhance skin’s intuitive ability to repair and defend itself, for the most radiantly youthful look.”
This product contains serine. 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.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Peg/ppg-14/7 dimethyl ether + 17 moreWorks
“Suited to normal and oily skin types, this lightweight and fast-absorbing formula balances its clarifying capabilities - dead skin cells and excess oil don't stand a chance - with a soothing wave of moisture that leaves your skin looking dewy and supple.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": erythritol, fructose.
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).
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Star ingredient chamomilla recutita extract works to remove excess sebum, exfoliate and minimise the appearance of pores.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
