“Let's Slim Cream”
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:
cyclomethicone, 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: cyclomethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: sh-pentapeptide-19
“Its extensive product lines are all manufactured in Korea and offer ingredient-based solutions such as vitamins, snail mucin, damask rose, apple water and organic products for specific skin concerns.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: sh-pentapeptide-19, vitis vinifera seed extract.
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.
“The brand's bestselling products include the Dr. VITA Premium VITA C Ampoule, ESTHENIQUE Snail Cream, MEDILAB+ Black Rose Ampoule Mask Pack and Black Rose Blossom Dual Ampoule Cream, and the Machihyun Calming Ampule.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
This product contains antioxidants (vitis vinifera seed extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - ginkgo biloba leaf extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

Judging from the ingredient list, "DAYCELL - Let's Slim Cream" works well for improving skin hydration As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier.
