Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Dr Lewinns - LINE SMOOTHING COMPLEX DOUBLE INTENSITY NIGHT CREAM" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Dr Lewinns - LINE SMOOTHING COMPLEX DOUBLE INTENSITY NIGHT CREAM ticks this box. Acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin and imperata cylindrica root extract in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, coco-caprylate and caprylyl glycol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (acetyl octapeptide-3 0.15% - 0.30% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.20% - 0.35%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: sodium ascorbyl phosphate
