Peptides (palmitoyl heptapeptide-18 0.20% - 0.70%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-52 0.20% - 0.80%, heptapeptide-15 palmitate 0.30% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-50 0.35% - 0.85% and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.45% - 1.05%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.60%, heptapeptide-15 palmitate 0.30% - 0.75%, acetamidoethoxyethanol 3.40% - 5.10% and glycerin 4.10% - 6.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains heptapeptide-15 palmitate.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: palmitoyl heptapeptide-18, palmitoyl hexapeptide-52, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-50, resveratrol.

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.

Moisturizing

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: acetamidoethoxyethanol, 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: dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: heptapeptide-15 palmitate, palmitoyl heptapeptide-18, palmitoyl hexapeptide-52, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-50

glycerin 4.1% - 6.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

heptapeptide-15 palmitate 0.3% - 0.75%

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

palmitoyl heptapeptide-18 0.2% - 0.7%

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (resveratrol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

resveratrol 0.6% - 1.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as even out the skin tone

acetamidoethoxyethanol 3.4% - 5.1%

Irritation risk:

Works for: Moisturizing

A new synthetic humectant that, according to the first tests, works better than glycerin in attracting moisture to the skin surface. It might be able to keep attracting water to the upper layer of the skin for longer compared with glycerin. Its texture is also nicer. Because of this, products with it are likely to be less sticky and more pleasant on application. It is unlikely to cause irritation and products with it work for sensitive skin. For best hydration results, it should be used at about 5-10% in a formulation. This ingredient is developed by a supplier Nouryon and is sold to skincare brands under the name Elfamoist AC.
