Works for
Anti-agingLactobionic acid, Lactic acidWorks well
“Help improve the overall appearance of fine lines, dark spots and uneven texture”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains lactobionic acid.
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.
Evens skin toneLactobionic acid, Lactic acidWorks well
“Help improve the overall appearance of fine lines, dark spots and uneven texture”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: lactobionic acid
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.
MoisturizingLactobionic acid, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 14 moreWorks well
“Resync is a Revitalizing Night Cream with antioxidant-rich extracts—like Snow Mushroom and Kakudu Plum—that quench skin with long-lasting moisture to help restore radiance and revitalize the look of skin, all while you sleep.”
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:
anhydroxylitol, betaine.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, behenyl alcohol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: lactobionic acid
ExfoliationSide benefit · Lactobionic acid, Lactic acidWorks well
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: lactobionic acid.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Lactobionic acid, Chlorella vulgaris extract + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (lactobionic acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
