Based on the ingredient list, "DHC - Super Collagen Supreme" can work well for skin moisturization. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin, glycogen, saccharide isomerate and butylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (grifola frondosa fruiting body extract, olea europaea fruit oil and pentylene glycol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (dipeptide-8 0.15% - 0.50%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides 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.

This product contains dipeptide-8.
This ingredient 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.
A derivative of vitamin C that is more stable, but less bioavailable than the pure form of vitamin C. It does not penetrate the skin well, but has been shown to convert to pure vitamin C once in skin. It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production and lightening the skin tone, but the required concentration is likely to be very high
Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
rich in antioxidants, it maintains the skin’s moisture barrier and helps fight damage caused by free radicals without clogging pores.
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:
biosaccharide gum-1, 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:
grifola frondosa fruiting body extract, olea europaea fruit oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: dipeptide-8
Mushroom extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might be able to stimulate sebum production in skin

Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Infused with nourishing ingredients like antioxidants and olive fruit oil, this lightweight formula visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines, uneven pigmentation, free radical damage, and dryness.
A derivative of vitamin C that is more stable, but less bioavailable than the pure form of vitamin C. It does not penetrate the skin well, but has been shown to convert to pure vitamin C once in skin. It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production and lightening the skin tone, but the required concentration is likely to be very high
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
provides an ultra-gentle exfoliating action and promotes brighter-looking skin.
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients.
It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin.
We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
