Etude House Vegan Collagen Booster Serum
Works for
MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-37, Tripeptide-29 + 6 moreWorks well
“It strengthens and offers elasticity to the skin while enhancing moisturizing and conditioning properties”
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 hyaluronate.
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: simmondsia chinensis seed extract, pentylene glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-37, tripeptide-29
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-37, Tripeptide-29 + 1 moreMay help
“A rich vegan collagen blend formulated with Amla Extract, Vegetable Collagen and Seaweed-Tripeptide works together to help smooth, restore bounce and diminish fine lines and wrinkles for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-37, tripeptide-29, vitis vinifera seed extract. 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.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Emblica officinalis fruit extract, Vitis vinifera seed extract + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (vitis vinifera seed extract) 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 - emblica officinalis fruit extract, epilobium angustifolium flower/leaf/stem extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
