this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.15% - 0.50%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
Peptides (oligopeptide-68 0.90% - 1.40%). 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.
An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 0.60% - 1.35%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
Humectants (glycerin 0.45% - 1.10%, panthenol 0.60% - 1.35% and glycerin 3.30% - 5.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Vitamins A, E, & B provide multiple benefits including improved hydration and nourishment.

Source: N/A

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, methyl gluceth-20.

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: glycine soja oil, butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: oligopeptide-68, panthenol

beta-glucan 4.5% - 6.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

oligopeptide-68 0.9% - 1.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

panthenol 0.6% - 1.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

Clinical testing In Vivo and In Vitro revealed effective reduction in the visible appearance of spots and blotches.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low

tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate 0.15% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.

retinyl palmitate 0.15% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
