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, squalane.

borago officinalis seed oil 2.7% - 4.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A plant oil that is effective in reducing irritation in skin, restore the barrier function and support its hydration

lactococcus ferment lysate 2% - 3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

saccharomyces/xylinum/black tea ferment 1% - 1.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A fermented sweet black tea. There is no studies on particular benefits of this ingredient in skin. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin, and might have some anti-oxidant effect. It is used in skincare for mostly marketing purposes because of the popularity of kombucha drinks

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Boosting skins natural defences and working against premature ageing, this serum will have your skin feeling happy and healthy in no time at all ideal for all, but especially wonderful for skin thats often easily-irritated.

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

lactococcus ferment lysate 2% - 3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Consists of remains of dead bacteria cells. Is likely helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin. Might be helpful in reducing inflammation and neutralizing free radicals in skin

lactic acid 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
