Anti-aging3 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“Fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced for a soft, supple and revitalised complexion.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
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.
Moisturizing7 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“Beauty benefitsSkin is surged with instant hydration.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
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).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
Evens skin toneNot advertised by the brand · 1 ingredient credited for this claimStrong support

Anti-blemishNot advertised by the brand · 2 ingredients credited for this claimGood support

"Edible Beauty - Botanical Water Gel" has a good moisturizing formula.
Ingredient callouts
- We love that this moisturizer contains a good concentration of niacinamide 1.80% - 2.70%. Niacinamide is a perfect active in a moistruizer because it helps calm down inflamation in skin and support the skin barrier. More than that, it is helpful for most common skin concerns: it helps regulat oil production, help reduce acne and clogged pores, improve skin tone and prevent pigmentation marks. It also helps fight photodamage.
