Anti-agingRetinol, Aloe barbadensis leaf juiceWorks well
“enriched with aloe vera juice and chamomile that are famous for soothing the skin Fight signs of ageing with Eclat’s Retinol serum a fast-absorbing, breakthrough formula that aims to rejuvenate the skin.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains retinol.
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.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice + 1 moreWorks
“aims to make skin look hydrated and nourished .”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
