Moisturizing15 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“This efficacious combination of bioactives, antioxidants, peptides, and vitamins A, C, and E is proven to synergistically maximize hydration, plump thin skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines while brightening dark circles.”
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, hyaluronic acid.
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, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-aging8 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
“This efficacious combination of bioactives, antioxidants, peptides, and vitamins A, C, and E is proven to synergistically maximize hydration, plump thin skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines while brightening dark circles.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, retinyl palmitate. These ingredients 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.
Evens skin tone1 ingredient credited for this claimModerate support
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: retinyl palmitate.

Soluble collagen~1.3–1.9%
- Irritation risk
- Low
A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

- Low
A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
More about Acetyl hexapeptide-8Sodium ascorbyl phosphate~0.85–1.3%
- 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

- Irritation risk
- High
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

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.30% - 0.75%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
- Peptides (acetyl octapeptide-3 0.10% - 0.35%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.20% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.70% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.00% - 1.50%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They 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.
- Humectants (acetyl octapeptide-3 0.10% - 0.35%, glycerin 0.45% - 1.10%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.00% - 1.50%, soluble collagen 1.30% - 1.90% and hyaluronic acid 1.70% - 2.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
