“INTENSE HYDRATION & NOURISHMENT This extremely nourishing and moisturizing formula is packed with an abundance of nutrients that have been clinically proven to moisturize, nourish, and hydrate, helping to reduce the appearance of sagging and dull under eye skin.”
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:
hyaluronic acid, glycine soja protein.
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: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, squalane.
Evens skin toneGlycine soja proteinNot delivered
“With regular use, at 4-6 weeks some users reported a decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots and marks, more even toned, balanced, more plump and supple skin. Results will continue with regular use.”
This product contains ingredients (glycine soja protein) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
Anti-agingHyaluronic acid, Glycine soja proteinNot delivered
“With regular use, at 4-6 weeks some users reported a decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots and marks, more even toned, balanced, more plump and supple skin. Results will continue with regular use.”
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.These ingredients - glycine soja protein, hyaluronic acid - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
