Product summary

"Eclat Skin London - ANTI-WRINKLE ELIXIR SERUM 24K GOLD + ANTI-WRINKLE Night MOISTURISER 24K GOLD" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Eclat Skin London - ANTI-WRINKLE ELIXIR SERUM 24K GOLD + ANTI-WRINKLE Night MOISTURISER 24K GOLD ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin, saccharomyces/copper ferment, saccharomyces/iron ferment and saccharomyces/magnesium ferment) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (squalane, cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, cyclopentasiloxane and macadamia ternifolia seed oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

  • this moisturizer includes a form of retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.30% - 0.55% and retinyl palmitate 0.50% - 0.75%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
  • This formulation also uses an effective concentration of panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 4.30% - 5.20%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
