This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.10% - 0.40%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide np 0.15% - 0.55%, ceramide eos 0.05% - 0.15%, ceramide eop 0.10% - 0.30%, ceramide ap 0.05% - 0.25%, caprooyl phytosphingosine 0.10% - 0.45% and ceramide ns 0.15% - 0.55%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.

Moisture-Rich Clarifying Peeling Gel

Source: From product name

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, sodium hyaluronate.

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: cholesterol, cetyl alcohol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: caprooyl phytosphingosine, ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide eos, ceramide np, ceramide ns

sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.6%

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

An additional boost of deep hydration is delivered through a patented, epidermal delivery system to help maintain maximum moisture and fight signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity.

Source: Skinstore

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.
