WIMJ summary

This product contains ingredients (gluconolactone, mandelic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

What does the product description say?

"This power-packed daily formula supports skin’s own natural hydrating filler, to soften the loss of volume and improve the look of visible smile lines where time and gravity have taken a toll."

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains gluconolactone.

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.

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: gluconolactone, mandelic 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.

WIMJ summary

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: gluconolactone, mandelic acid.

mandelic acid	HIGH

WIMJ summary

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, caprylyl glycol.

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, cyclopentasiloxane.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone	HIGH
gluconolactone	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (gluconolactone) 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.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin	6.9% - 10.3%
dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish	4% - 6.1%
gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals	2.8% - 4.2%
mandelic acid Helps shed the upper layer of dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing smoother, brighter skin. It can help to reduce hyperpigmentation. It has anti-bacterial properties, and might help to reduce blemishes, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It is considered to be gentler than glycolic acid	2.1% - 3.2%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	1.7% - 2.5%
dimethicone crosspolymer Used to create a thicker product texture. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might be able to prevent moisture loss from its surface	1.3% - 1.9%
peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone A silicone that mixes with water creating nice light-weight product texture	0.95% - 1.4%
polysorbate 20 Helps oil and water mix together	0.55% - 1.3%
sea salt Used to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration	0.45% - 1%
silica silylate Helps create a thicker product consistency	0.4% - 0.95%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.15% - 0.6%
caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture	0.15% - 0.55%
chlorphenesin A preservative	0.05% - 0.3%
ammonium hydroxide Helps adjust the product pH	0.05% - 0.2%
