MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-38, Acetyl hexapeptide-37 + 22 moreWorks well
“To be used over 14 days, the first step is a cosmetic gel that contains six types of Hyaluronic Acid with different molecular weights and structures to effectively plump skin with moisture and 'fill out' the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.”
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:
arginine, glycerin.
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: arginine, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-30, acetyl hexapeptide-37, palmitoyl tripeptide-38
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-38, Acetyl hexapeptide-37 + 4 moreMay help
“To be used over 14 days, the first step is a cosmetic gel that contains six types of Hyaluronic Acid with different molecular weights and structures to effectively plump skin with moisture and 'fill out' the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-30, acetyl hexapeptide-37, palmitoyl tripeptide-38. There is some human evidence that these ingredients help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.
