MoisturizingPanthenol, Urea + 12 moreWorks well
“Helps to moisturize and revitalize the 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:
arginine, hydrolyzed hyaluronic 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: arginine, chondrus crispus extract.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol, urea
Anti-agingVitis vinifera seed extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extractMay help
“The blending of Sun Moon Lake Black Tea and Iris Florentina extract is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids which is effective for wrinkle and fine lines correction, as well as antiaging and dryness.”
This product contains vitis vinifera seed extract. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin toneCamellia sinensis leaf extractNot delivered
“Gradually reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. How to use Cleanse and tone the skin.”
This product might help improve the skin tone through exfoliation. In other words, it helps to speed up the shedding of cells from the upper layer of the skin, and this might help reduce hyperpigmentation.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Vitis vinifera seed extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extractWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (vitis vinifera seed extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
ExfoliationSide benefit · Hydroxyethyl urea, Urea + 1 moreWorks well
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: hydroxyethyl urea.

- In addition, this product contains Allantoin (0.90% - 1.35%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
- Humectants (urea 0.15% - 0.65%, isomalt 0.05% - 0.30%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.10% - 0.35%, hydroxyethyl urea 1.50% - 2.20%, panthenol 1.70% - 2.50% and arginine 4.00% - 6.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
