“The silky opaque formula melts into skin to offer supreme treatment and nourishment.”Lev Glazman, Fresh Co-founder Research results In an in-vivo test , Smoothc the appearance of wrinkles by up to 21% in total area and 20% in total length , 100% said their skin was smooth and elasticity was improved , 100% reported their skin felt nourished, soft, and supple , 98% noticed their skin felt protected , 95% said it smoothed fine lines and wrinkles”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
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.

“The formula is further enriched with echinacea extract, which helps to improve the skin’s resilience to environmental aggressors, and nyamplung and meadowfoam seed oils that help nourish, moisturize, and soften 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:
diglycerin, 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: helianthus annuus seed oil, limnanthes alba seed oil.

Ingredient callouts
- Adenosine 0.45% - 0.65%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
- Humectants (glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.20% - 0.40%, glycerin 4.50% - 5.50% and diglycerin 0.45% - 0.65%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
