What does the product description say?
Hyaluronic acid and vegetable proteins work together to hydrate and nourish as wheat proteins seal in moisture leaving skin smooth and supple.

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, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-30, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, cyclotetrapeptide-24 aminocyclohexane carboxylate, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl hexapeptide-19, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-37, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, tetrapeptide-30

Used to stabilize product formulations and help soften the upper layer of the skin
A plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. Contains active compounds called centelloids: asiaticoside, madecasosside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It can be itself be irritating though.
Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
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. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Addresses aging from the inside out.

This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-30, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, adenosine triphosphate, cyclotetrapeptide-24 aminocyclohexane carboxylate, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, dipeptide-2, lysine, palmitoyl hexapeptide-19, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-37, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, tetrapeptide-30. 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.
