MoisturizingGlycerin, Cetearyl alcohol + 10 moreWorks
“Nourishing Shea and Cocoa Butters deeply hydrate and moisturise, allowing Goji Berry Extract to create a powerful protective barrier against harsh external factors.”
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.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, cocos nucifera oil.
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butter, Lycium barbarum fruit extract + 1 moreNot delivered
“With coffee seed oil – rich in caffeine – to stimulate blood flow and energise cells which promotes manufacture of collagen, alongside goji berry (brimming with brightening vitamin C) and a cocktail of amino acids and antioxidants, this is also a rich source of nourishment thanks to a nutritive blend of conditioning shea and cocoa butters.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - butyrospermum parkii butter, lycium barbarum fruit extract - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
This ingredient lycium barbarum fruit extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Rubus idaeus seed oil, Vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil + 7 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (lycium barbarum fruit extract, rubus idaeus seed oil, vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
