“A unique combination of super exfoliating actives including Precious Ruby, Natural Sea Salt and Acacia Honey remove dead skin cells and decongest blocked pores, whilst the active anti-ageing ingredients and minerals Matrixyl, Zinc, Iron, Potassium, Copper & Vitamin’s C & E brighten your complexion and leave you perfectly hydrated, rebalanced, repaired & renewed.”
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:
faex, 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: copernicia cerifera wax, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl oligopeptide + 2 moreMay help
“Reveal brighter, fresher and more youthful looking skin with our clinically formulated signature active polish.”
This product contains palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
