This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.25% - 0.45%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
This product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl acetate 0.20% - 0.40%, 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 (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.50% and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.25% - 0.50%). 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.
Humectants (sodium lactate 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.45%, inositol 0.20% - 0.40%, glycine 0.25% - 0.45%, glycerin 4.70% - 5.80%, glutamic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, glucosamine hcl 0.25% - 0.45%, alanine 0.25% - 0.45% and aspartic acid 0.25% - 0.45%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

retinyl acetate 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

serine 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

folic acid 0.05% - 0.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Can help stimulate collagen production in skin. While available studies are promising, more research is needed to confirm the efficacy in skin

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: alanine, aspartic acid.

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1

glycerin 4.7% - 5.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

histidine hcl 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A salt of an amino-acid that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function

hydroxyproline 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Is helpful in restoring skin barrier function supporting its moisture levels. Is claimed to stimulte collagen production in skin but evidence is lacking

Evens skin tone

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: alanine, albizia julibrissin bark extract, glucosamine hcl.

glucosamine hcl 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might be able to stimulate production of skin's natural moisturizing compounds such as hyaluronic acid. Could be helpful for evening the skin tone.

albizia julibrissin bark extract 1.6% - 1.9%

Irritation risk:
