“An anti-aging moisturiser enriched with Tangerine Peel Extract and Niacinamide that improves skin tone.”
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: acetyl hexapeptide-8, astaxanthin, camellia sinensis catechins.
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.
“An anti-aging moisturiser enriched with Tangerine Peel Extract and Niacinamide that improves skin tone.”
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:
glycerin, hydrolyzed collagen.
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: hydrolyzed collagen, oenothera biennis oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8
“Contains Astaxanthin and Ethyl Ascorbic Acid to fight against pigmentation and loose skin.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
This product contains antioxidants (astaxanthin, camellia sinensis catechins) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

"DERMAFIRM - Age Reviving Vital Emulsion A4" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. DERMAFIRM - Age Reviving Vital Emulsion A4 ticks this box. Acetyl hexapeptide-8, glycerin, hydrolyzed collagen, sodium hyaluronate and glucose 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 (hydrolyzed collagen, oenothera biennis oil, butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate, olea europaea fruit oil and cyclohexasiloxane) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
