What the product description says
“a concentrated serum to help brighten the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone while boosting hydration ceramide barrier serum.”
Source: Cocokind

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, helianthus annuus seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: caprooyl phytosphingosine, caprooyl sphingosine, ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide eos, ceramide np, ceramide ns

“youthful routine”
From product name

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 - beta-glucan - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

Beta-glucanEffect: LowHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, calm down inflammation and irritation, restore the barrier function and support wound healing. It can be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles~0.35–0.65%
Sodium ascorbyl phosphateEffect: Low, below effective doseA stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C~0.5–0.8%

Product summary

"cocokind - youthful routine" is effective for: Moisturizing

Ingredient callouts

  • This product contains acids (gluconolactone 0.35% - 0.65% and lactic acid 0.35% - 0.60%). 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). PHAs (gluconolactone) especially are great for improving skin hydration. They might be even able to stimulate the production of skin's natural humectants and support the healthy skin microbiome.
  • Ceramides (ceramide ns 0.45% - 0.70%, ceramide np 0.45% - 0.70%, ceramide eos 0.35% - 0.65%, ceramide eop 0.45% - 0.70%, ceramide ap 0.35% - 0.65%, caprooyl sphingosine 0.35% - 0.65% and caprooyl phytosphingosine 0.45% - 0.70%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
  • Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.35% - 0.65%, glycerin 0.45% - 0.65%, glycerin 5.40% - 6.60%, arginine 0.30% - 0.60%, lactobacillus ferment 0.55% - 0.85%, glycerin 0.40% - 0.60% and glycerin 0.60% - 0.85%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
