Product Summary
"Estée Lauder - Firm + Lift Skincare Wonders" is effective for: Moisturizing, Anti-aging and Evens skin tone
Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.25%, tripeptide-32 0.15% - 0.25% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.45% - 0.70%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Humectants (artemia extract 0.15% - 0.30%, glycerin 0.20% - 0.40%, sucrose 0.15% - 0.25%, algae extract 0.20% - 0.40%, acetyl glucosamine 0.15% - 0.25%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.25%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.25%, zinc pca 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.25%, algae extract 0.20% - 0.35%, sucrose 0.10% - 0.20%, glycerin 0.15% - 0.30%, glycerin 0.15% - 0.30%, lactobacillus ferment 0.15% - 0.25%, faex 0.15% - 0.25%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.25%, sodium pca 0.15% - 0.25%, sucrose 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium lactate 0.15% - 0.25%, algae extract 0.25% - 0.50%, acetyl glucosamine 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.45% - 0.70%, sodium hyaluronate 0.60% - 0.90% and glycerin 4.00% - 4.90%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?
What Else You Need to Know These high-performance formulas significantly improve firmness, density, and elasticity for a more lifted look.
Source: Sephora CA
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains acetyl glucosamine.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, tripeptide-32.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Evens skin tone
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: acetyl glucosamine

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
The products also reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, so skin is stronger, radiant, deeply hydrated, and glows with a healthy-looking radiance.

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:
algae extract, artemia extract.
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, methicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl glucosamine, acetyl hexapeptide-8, tripeptide-32

A type of silicone that helps water and oil mix together. Can help to soften upper layer of the skin
Forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness
Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some antioxidant effect
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
Seaweed extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but good research is lacking at the moment
A protein derived from milk. In skincare products, might help to soften the upper layer of the skin
An effective moisturizing ingredient that also has been shown to be effective in evening out the skin tone and reducing hyperpigmentation. It can help somewhat reduce wrinkles in skin
A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
Might contain compounds called dormins that in theory could help lighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation, but solid research is lacking
An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
A plant extract that is claimed to be helpful in moisturizing and lightening the skin, but evidence is missing
Plant extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but research is not extensive yet
An essential oil that can be irritating
Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect
Might be able to help neutralize free radical, calm down inflammation in skin, and even skin tone
A plant extract that can contain an anti-inflammatory compound
Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
Helps to absord oil and evenly disperse other ingredients (for example, pigment) in product formulation
Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil
A more stable but less potent derivative of vitamin C. It can help neautralize free radicals and even out the skin tone if used in high enough concentration (required levels are likely to be much higher than for pure vitamin C, and solid studies are lacking at the moment)
A type of silicone that helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduces the water loss from the skin surface
Zooplankton extract that can attract water to the upper level of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect
A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel
The same compound that is used safely in dental implants and bone cements. In cosmetics, it is used to improve the consistency of products
A type of clay that is used to thicken the product consistency
A silicone that works to soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce its water loss
A type of silicone that helps to soften upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture
Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
A type of silicone that helps oil and water mix well together. Helps to disperse other ingredients, e.g. pigments, evenly in a formulation
A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin
An umbrella term for the following three colorants: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499. They might be able to offer some protection against visible light, but the degree of the protection is not clear
