Garancia Mystérieux Mille et Un Jours Global Anti-Aging Day Cream + Free Global Anti-Aging Ritual

Judging from the ingredient list, "Garancia - Mystérieux Mille et Un Jours Global Anti-Aging Day Cream + Free Global Anti-Aging Ritual" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Garancia - Mystérieux Mille et Un Jours Global Anti-Aging Day Cream + Free Global Anti-Aging Ritual ticks this box. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate and sucrose) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetyl alcohol, undecane, heptyl undecylenate and caprylyl glycol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

• This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.25% - 0.45%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
• This moisturizer also contains Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.35% - 0.60%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.35% - 0.60%, palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.35% - 0.65% and dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.50% - 0.75%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
