Product summary

"Estée Lauder - Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift Age-Correcting Crème" is effective for: Anti-aging, Moisturizing and Evens skin tone

Ingredient callouts

Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.25% - 0.45%). 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 (trehalose 0.25% - 0.40%, glycerin 0.55% - 0.85%, faex 0.20% - 0.40%, artemia extract 0.20% - 0.40%, algae extract 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.25% - 0.45%, acetyl glucosamine 0.20% - 0.40% and sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

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.

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.

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Estée Lauder, Re-Nutriv The Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift Age-Correcting Creme features a potent moisturising treatment that renews and refreshes the complexion, enabling a more youthful appearance.

Source: Allbeauty

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: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.

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

acetyl glucosamine 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

trehalose 0.25% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin

cholesterol 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient that is naturally found in skin

Evens skin tone

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

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: glycine soja protein.

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.

acetyl glucosamine 0.2% - 0.4%

A plant extract that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and soften it. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. It might be somewhat helpful for evening out the skin tone. It might be able to support elastin production but solid research is lacking

narcissus tazetta bulb extract 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Might contain compounds called dormins that in theory could help lighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation, but solid research is lacking

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (decarboxy carnosine hcl) 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.

decarboxy carnosine hcl 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might be able to protect the skin from free radicals, but further evidence of effectiveness is needed

artemia extract 0.2% - 0.4%
