Product claims breakdown
Anti-agingADENOSINE at ~0.2–0.35%Strong evidence
ADENOSINE at ~0.2–0.35%
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.
ADENOSINERole: HeroMight help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)~0.2–0.35%
GlycerinRole: Key activeOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant~4–4.9%
Myristyl myristateRole: Key activeAn emollient. Is not recommended for acne-prone skin as it can be comedogenic~1.5–1.9%
Jojoba estersRole: Key activeAn emollient made of jojoba oil. Helps soften the skin and support its barrier function~1.2–1.5%
Cetyl alcoholRole: Key activeA non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together~0.75–1.15%
