Givenchy Blanc Divin Brightening Serum Global Skin Radiance
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Polyglycerin-3 + 7 moreWorks
“A fresh and delicate texture which instantly penetrates the skin to deliver generous hydration, an exceptional concentration of skincare ingredients and an optimal brightening effect.”
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:
alcaligenes polysaccharides, 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: dimethicone, alcaligenes polysaccharides.
Evens skin toneAscorbyl glucoside, Prunus mume fruit extractMay help
“The appearance of dark spots is visibly lessened.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: ascorbyl glucoside, prunus mume fruit extract.
Anti-agingSide benefit · Ascorbyl glucoside, Butyrospermum parkii butterMay help
This product contains ascorbyl glucoside. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ascorbyl glucoside, Prunus mume fruit extract + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (ascorbyl glucoside) 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.
