MoisturizingLinoleic acid, Sodium hyaluronate + 21 moreStrong evidence
“This treatment acts on all fronts of aging thanks to dermatological active ingredients (collagen and hyaluronic acid) that strengthen the support structure of the skin, plant extracts of natural origin that increase cell cohesion and anti-free radical vitamins, integrated in a non-greasy nourishing base.”
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:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: linoleic acid
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butter, Lactic acid + 1 moreLimited evidence
“This treatment acts on all fronts of aging thanks to dermatological active ingredients (collagen and hyaluronic acid) that strengthen the support structure of the skin, plant extracts of natural origin that increase cell cohesion and anti-free radical vitamins, integrated in a non-greasy nourishing base.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no 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
