Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Epionce - Intensive Nourishing Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (glycerin, sodium chondroitin sulfate, sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol and caprylyl glycol) 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). Phytosphingosine, petrolatum, carthamus tinctorius seed oil, limnanthes alba seed oil and phytosterols in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.30% - 0.50%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: rosehip oil, lecithin and persea gratissima oil

Irritation risk

This moisturizer contains a bunch of common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide any known benefit for the skin. It might not be the best choice if your skin is sensitive. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

This clinically proven treatment is shown to improve firmness, elasticity and texture.

Source: Dermstore

This product contains atelocollagen. 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.

atelocollagen 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A protein that helps to attract moisture to the upper layer of the skin and might be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles

butyrospermum parkii butter 1.1% - 1.4%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

limnanthes alba seed oil 1.8% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

This oil's cmposition is closest to rapeseed oil. It is a very stable oil and serves as an emoillient

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

Extremely effective levels of active complexes, fruit extracts and peptides stimulate the skin to regenerate, producing a youthful, even-toned complexion.

Source: Dermstore

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: azelaic acid

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

azelaic acid 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Is produced by a yeast that lives on normal human skin. It is used in medicine as a topical treatment for mild to moderate acne. It has a mild exfoliating effect. It can also help reduce hyperpigmentation, helps calm down inflammation and can help neutralize free radicals

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Intensive Nourishing Cream

Source: From product name

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 chondroitin sulfate.

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: beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: petrolatum, phytosphingosine

glycerin 2.2% - 2.7%

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

limnanthes alba seed oil 1.8% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

This oil's cmposition is closest to rapeseed oil. It is a very stable oil and serves as an emoillient

petrolatum 4.3% - 5.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

phytosphingosine 0.3% - 0.5%

Anti-oxidation

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

The following ingredients - quercetin also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

azelaic acid 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

quercetin 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM
