MoisturizingSqualane, Panthenyl triacetate + 7 moreGood evidence
“Unlock glowing, deeply nourished and emPOWERed skin with our award-winning, 100% pure, ultra-lightweight yet high performance facial oil that gives you a dewy skin barrier and results!”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-agingPanthenyl triacetate, Limnanthes alba seed oil + 1 moreLimited evidence
“This potent blend of Cloudberry Oil, Cottonseed Oil, and Meadowfoam Oil - and a blend of 10 antioxidant-rich botanicals- delivers a surge of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins to reduce the appearance of fine lines and dryness.”
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.This ingredient - panthenyl triacetate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
