MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-5, Glycerin + 9 moreWorks well
“Hyaluronic Face Cream is a moisturizing cream for a customer looking for a daily long-lasting plumping hydrator, concerned with loss of volume, the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and loss of fullness due to dehydrated skin and dry skin.”
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:
diglycerin, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dicaprylyl ether.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-5
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-5, Tocopherol + 1 moreMay help
“Instantly improves the appearance of expression lines & wrinkles”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-5. 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.
