MoisturizingPersea gratissima oil, Cera alba + 13 moreGood evidence
“- Hydrates, refines and revitalises, enhancing skin elasticity”
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, mel.
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: cera alba, chondrus crispus extract.
Anti-agingPrunus amygdalus dulcis oil, Butyrospermum parkii butterLimited evidence
“Enriched with antioxidant-rich red clover, acerola berries, raspberry seed oil and shea butter to protect against free radicals, the cream also contains kalanchoe and marshmallow to diminish fine lines and wrinkles and promote skin resilience.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient malpighia punicifolia fruit extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Evens skin toneNo ingredient credited for this claimNo evidence
“The luxuriously creamy formula enhances the skin's tone, leaving the skin feeling soft, supple and radiant.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Malpighia punicifolia fruit extract, Rubus idaeus seed oil + 4 moreModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (malpighia punicifolia fruit extract, rubus idaeus seed oil) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
