“Endocare Regenerating Anti-Aging Ampoules 7x1ml helps hydrate, repair and regenerate the skin not only minimizing the first aging signs and photoaging but also returning to dull and tired skin a radiant and revitalized look.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": alanine, aspartic 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: urea
Anti-agingAspartic acid, Sodium ascorbyl phosphateMay help
“Providing powerful antioxidant and regenerating properties, this unique ingredient helps minimize the first aging signs reducing fine lines and returning elasticity and firmness to the skin.”
This product contains aspartic acid. This ingredient 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.

Snail secretion filtrate~25–37%
- Irritation risk
- Medium
Typically contains hyaluronic acid that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might contain allantoin that is helpful in calming down inflammation. There is no evidence that it can have any further benefits for the skin, especially when used in skincare products

- Irritation risk

Maltodextrin~3.5–5.2%
- Irritation risk
- Low
Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil

More about Peg/ppg-20/6 dimethiconeSodium ascorbyl phosphate~1.1–1.7%
- Irritation risk
- Medium
A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
More about Sodium ascorbyl phosphateSodium chloride~1–1.5%
- Irritation risk
- Low
Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures
More about Sodium chlorideTocopheryl acetate~0.85–1.25%
- Irritation risk

- Irritation risk
- Low
Naturally present in skin (urea makes up about 7% of natural moisturizing factors in skin). Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Also has a positive effect on the skin barrier beyond the humectant action. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations
