Works for
Anti-agingAdenosine, Limnanthes alba seed oil + 1 moreWorks well
“A powerhouse face serum that smooths the look of wrinkles in as few as four hours and corrects the appearance of unevenness, visible pores, and loss of elasticity.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Squalane + 18 moreWorks
“What Else You Need to Know: This hydrating serum is skincare routine essential to target signs of aging.”
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:
alcaligenes polysaccharides, betaine.
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, squalane.

Ingredient callouts
- Adenosine 0.45% - 0.65%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
- Humectants (alcaligenes polysaccharides 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate 0.40% - 0.60%, polyglycerin-3 1.40% - 1.80%, betaine 1.80% - 2.20% and glycerin 5.20% - 6.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
