Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "Creamy - Anti-aging peptide firmador" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Creamy - Anti-aging peptide firmador ticks this box. Acetyl glucosamine, glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid and sodium lactate in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, caprylic/capric triglyceride, coco-caprylate/caprate and hydrogenated vegetable oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

  • We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (sh-polypeptide-9 0.10% - 0.20%, sh-oligopeptide-2 0.10% - 0.20%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.15% - 0.25%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.20% - 0.35%, copper tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.45% and palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.20% - 0.40%). 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. Peptides 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.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e and lecithin
