Elizabeth Grant Caviar Cellular Recharge Super Night Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "Elizabeth Grant - Caviar Cellular Recharge Super Night Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Elizabeth Grant - Caviar Cellular Recharge Super Night Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (urea, algae extract, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and sodium lactate) 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 (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, algae extract, cetyl dimethicone and butyrospermum parkii butter) 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 (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.55% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.55%). 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.
