Adenosine 0.15% - 0.30%. 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 (glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.20% - 0.40%, arginine 0.15% - 0.30%, carnosine 0.20% - 0.35%, glutamic acid 0.20% - 0.35%, alanine 0.20% - 0.35%, glycine 0.20% - 0.35%, glycerin 0.20% - 0.40%, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.20% - 0.40%, arginine 0.15% - 0.30%, carnosine 0.20% - 0.35%, glycine 0.45% - 0.65%, glycerin 4.10% - 5.00%, glutamic acid 0.20% - 0.35% and alanine 0.20% - 0.35%).

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: carnosine.

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.

adenosine 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might 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)

carnosine 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin combatting the sun damage

hydroxyproline 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Is helpful in restoring skin barrier function supporting its moisture levels. Is claimed to stimulte collagen production in skin but evidence is lacking

Moisturizing

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: alanine, arginine.

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: arginine, dimethicone.

glycerin 4.1% - 5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and provide a longer-lasting hydration. Can create a thicker product consistency

glycine 0.45% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help restore the skin barrier function

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (carnosine) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

carnosine 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin combatting the sun damage

adenosine 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

tocopherol 0.2% - 0.35%
