2 of 3 advertised claims delivered
Evens skin tone3 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“The kiwi extract-packed Kiwi version is fortified with vitamins and minerals to treat hyperpigmentation and nourish skin.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
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.
Anti-aging3 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“The apple extract rich-Apple version contains antioxidants to protect skin from free radicals, while providing brightening and anti-aging effects.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
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.
Exfoliation1 ingredient credited for this claimWeak support
“All-In-One Refresh Peeling Gel Cream refines skin texture and brightens skin. The peeling gel comes in two versions.”
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-blemishNot advertised by the brand · 2 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

Product summary
"Farm Stay - All-In-One Refresh Peeling Gel Cream - 2 Types" is effective for: Evens skin tone, Anti-aging and Anti-blemish
Ingredient callouts
- We love that this moisturizer contains a good concentration of niacinamide 2.10% - 3.10%. Niacinamide is a perfect active in a moistruizer because it helps calm down inflamation in skin and support the skin barrier. More than that, it is helpful for most common skin concerns: it helps regulat oil production, help reduce acne and clogged pores, improve skin tone and prevent pigmentation marks. It also helps fight photodamage.
- This product contains acids (lactic acid 0.50% - 1.15%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
