Works for
Evens skin toneTetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, NiacinamideWorks well
“Key benefits: brightens & evens skin tone, calms inflammation, reduces fine lines & wrinkles, stimulates collagen.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-agingTetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, Acetyl zingerone + 1 moreWorks well
“Key benefits: brightens & evens skin tone, calms inflammation, reduces fine lines & wrinkles, stimulates collagen.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl zingerone.
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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, Acetyl zingerone + 1 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (acetyl zingerone, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Niacinamide, AllantoinWorks well
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Niacinamide, Lactobacillus + 5 moreWorks well
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: squalane, cocos nucifera fruit extract.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
