“Powered by Hyadisine, which mimics Hyaluronic Acid to deliver instant and lasting hydration to skin, the cream helps to plump out fine lines and wrinkles and infuse the complexion with a natural glow.”
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:
acetyl hexapeptide-8, hydrolyzed soy protein.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Tripeptide-1 + 4 moreMay help
“Powered by Hyadisine, which mimics Hyaluronic Acid to deliver instant and lasting hydration to skin, the cream helps to plump out fine lines and wrinkles and infuse the complexion with a natural glow.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect

Product summary
Based on the ingredients included, "Ecooking - Day Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, hydrolyzed soy protein, hydrolyzed wheat protein, butylene glycol and caprylyl glycol) 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 (tripeptide-1, caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetearyl alcohol, caprylyl glycol and glyceryl caprylate) 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
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (tripeptide-1 0.60% - 0.85%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 4.30% - 5.20% and tripeptide-10 citrulline 0.60% - 0.90%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, 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.
