Product summary

"Clinique - iD Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly + Active Cartridge Concentrate - Active: Fatigue" is effective for: Moisturizing, Anti-aging, Exfoliation and Evens skin tone

Ingredient callouts

This product contains acids (lactic acid 0.35% - 0.80%, glycolic acid 0.35% - 0.85% and glycolic acid 0.35% - 0.75%). 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.
Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.40% - 0.90%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.40% - 0.90%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.40% - 0.95% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.35% - 0.80%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
Humectants (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.35% - 0.80%, glycerin 0.40% - 0.90%, faex 0.30% - 0.75%, lactobacillus ferment 0.30% - 0.75%, saccharomyces lysate extract 0.30% - 0.75%, algae extract 0.40% - 0.95%, glycerin 0.35% - 0.85%, lactobacillus ferment 0.30% - 0.75%, glycerin 0.35% - 0.85%, trehalose 0.30% - 0.75%, hydroxyethyl urea 0.45% - 1.00%, sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 1.05%, sucrose 0.50% - 1.15%, algae extract 1.70% - 2.60% and glycerin 2.30% - 3.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Step 2 Choose your Pure Active Cartridge Concentrate to put in the base depeding of your skin's needs , Fatigue its formula enriched in tauraine energizes the skin, revives its radiance for a visible reduction of visible cutaneous signs of aging.

Source: Cocoon Center

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains glycolic acid.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, adenosine phosphate, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

glycolic acid 0.35% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid

adenosine phosphate 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to stimulate collagen production in skin

acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

, Uneven Skin Tone, its formula enriched in Japan Angelica Root removes the spots, evens the complexion and illuminates for a complexion visibly sublime.

Source: Cocoon Center

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glycolic acid, hydroxyethyl urea

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: albizia julibrissin bark extract.

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

glycolic acid 0.35% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

albizia julibrissin bark extract 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might help to neutralize free radicals in skin. Is claimed to help reduce hyperpigmentation but evidence is missing

taurine 0.35% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Could be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin, evening out the skin tone and neutralizing free radicals, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

, Uneven Skin Texture its enriched formula with Hydroxylated Alpha Acides (AHA) texturizes and illuminates the skin to visibly improve the skin texture.

Source: Cocoon Center

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: glycolic acid, hydroxyethyl urea.

glycolic acid 0.35% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

hydroxyethyl urea 0.45% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A derivative of urea, a compound that is naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients

lactic acid 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

i D Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly + Active Cartridge Concentrate , Active Fatigue

Source: From product name

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: algae extract, faex.

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: dimethicone, dimethiconol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, phytosphingosine

sucrose 0.5% - 1.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion

trehalose 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin

faex 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Yeast extract. Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin
