What the product description says

“Rose oil’s antiseptic and astringent properties can help to cool and calm inflamed skin and its moisturising factor is well suited to dry skin types.”

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Anti-aging

Tocopherol

Limited evidence

What the product description says

“It can visibly help refine skin texture, addressing the signs of ageing.”

Source: Sephora New Zealand

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 punica granatum extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

Exfoliation

No ingredient credited for this claim

No evidence

What the product description says

“This exfoliator lets you retreat and rejuvenate your skin with the gentle luxurious combination of bamboo extract and rose oil.”

Source: Sephora New Zealand

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

Anti-oxidation

Not advertised by the brand · Punica granatum extract, Actinidia chinensis fruit extract + 5 more

Moderate evidence

This product contains antioxidants (punica granatum extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
