Anti-agingVitis vinifera seed extract, Algae extractMay help
“Because it can hold up to 1‚000 times its weight in water‚ it aids hydration and actually plumps up skin and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles‚ making skin fresher‚ firmer and more youthful-looking with each use.”
This product contains vitis vinifera seed extract. There is some human evidence that this ingredient helps reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.

“Maximum Hydration Hyaluronic Acid Serum”
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:
algae extract, 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: algae extract, aloe barbadensis leaf extract.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Vitis vinifera seed extractWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (vitis vinifera seed extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
