MoisturizingArginine/lysine polypeptide, Palmitoyl tripeptide-5 + 16 moreWorks well
“Refreshing antioxidant toner that helps firm and hydrate.”
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:
dipotassium glycyrrhizate, glucosamine hcl.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: arginine/lysine polypeptide, palmitoyl tripeptide-5
Evens skin toneGlucosamine hcl, Dipotassium glycyrrhizate + 3 moreMay help
“Highly-active vitamin c complex and collagen-stimulating peptides encourage firmness and elasticity while glucosamine helps control age related hyperpigmentation.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: dipotassium glycyrrhizate, glucosamine hcl.
Anti-agingArginine/lysine polypeptide, Palmitoyl tripeptide-5 + 5 moreMay help
“Highly-active vitamin c complex and collagen-stimulating peptides encourage firmness and elasticity while glucosamine helps control age related hyperpigmentation.”
This product contains arginine/lysine polypeptide, palmitoyl tripeptide-5. 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Glucosamine hcl + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.05% - 0.30% and arginine/lysine polypeptide 2.30% - 3.40%). 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. They 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.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in this product (0.50% - 1.10%) can also further help improve the skin barrier. It might be able to calm down inflammation and reduce sensitivity. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is an active compound from the licorice root.
- Humectants (sodium pca 0.95% - 1.45%, glycerin 0.05% - 0.20% and sodium lactate 1.20% - 1.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
