Ingredient callouts

  • this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.35% - 0.65%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
  • Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.20% - 0.40%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.25% - 0.50%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.35% - 0.65%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.25% - 0.45%, acetyl hexapeptide-37 0.20% - 0.40% and acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.30% - 0.55%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
  • Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.35% - 0.60%, yeast extract 0.20% - 0.40%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, erythritol 0.90% - 1.10%, betaine 1.40% - 1.70%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.25% - 0.45% and glycerin 4.60% - 5.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
