This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 5.40% - 6.60% It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production, neutralizing free radicals in skin and improving pigmentation marks. We recommend to use up this product quickly after opening: Ascorbic Acid degrades fast when it gets in contact with air and light. The moment the product turns orange, it is a sign that a significant share of the vitamin C in it is no longer effective.
This product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl acetate 0.25% - 0.45%, 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.
Humectants (inositol 0.20% - 0.40%, glucosamine hcl 0.25% - 0.40%, glutamic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, aspartic acid 0.25% - 0.40%, glycine 0.20% - 0.40%, alanine 0.20% - 0.35%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.30% and biosaccharide gum-1 1.30% - 1.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

The special NCTF complex works in unison with deeply moisturising polysaccharides for potent anti-ageing action that eliminates the signs of fatigue and brightens the complexion.

Source: Allbeauty

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

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: aspartic acid, folic acid, retinyl acetate, serine, threonine.

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.

ascorbic acid 5.4% - 6.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging

retinyl acetate 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

aspartic acid 0.25% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An amino-acid that helps increase skin hydration and might help to slightly improve skin firmness, potentially reducing lines and wrinkles

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

The special NCTF complex works in unison with deeply moisturising polysaccharides for potent anti-ageing action that eliminates the signs of fatigue and brightens the complexion.

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.

hydroxyproline 0.25% - 0.4%

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

inositol 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

isoleucine 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An amino acid that can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and support skin's barrier function

Evens skin tone

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

In addition, this product contains glutathione. This ingredient (ingredients) might help reduce hyperpigmentation, but the effect, if any, is likely to be small.

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: alanine, glucosamine hcl.

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.

glutathione 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A peptide that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and reduce melanin production resulting in skin lightening effect and reduction in hyperpigmentation. It can also help attract moisture to the upper layer of the skin

ascorbic acid 5.4% - 6.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging

glucosamine hcl 0.25% - 0.4%

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.

Anti-oxidation
