“Youth Solution Cream”
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, hydrolyzed soy protein.
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: myristyl myristate, ricinus communis seed oil.
Anti-agingTRIPEPTIDE-3Weak evidence
“Specially formulated with innovative sirtuin cellular activators—sophisticated proteins that extend the lifespan of cellular DNA by re-energizing skin cell metabolism to protect against early signs of aging—it detoxifies the skin’s surface and promotes repair from within by stimulating production of collagen and elastin and improving hydration.”
