Product summary

"GRAYMELIN - Astaxanthin Stemcell Serum" is effective for: Anti-aging and Moisturizing

Ingredient callouts

Ceramides (ceramide np 0.10% - 0.40%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
Adenosine 0.15% - 0.55%. 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 (sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.80%, hydrolyzed collagen 1.20% - 1.80%, glycerin 0.10% - 0.40% and betaine 1.90% - 2.90%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Anti-aging serum is formulated with the antioxidant astaxanthin, which is rich in vitamins and coenzyme Q10 to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Source: Yesstyle

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: astaxanthin.

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.

adenosine 0.15% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)

astaxanthin 1.3% - 1.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help to calm down inflammation

butyrospermum parkii butter 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Insufficient!

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

The serum is also infused with adenosine to fortify the skin barrier, and green tea callus extract to maintain skin’s oil-moisture balance.

Source: Yesstyle

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: betaine, 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: squalane, hydrolyzed collagen.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np

hydrolyzed collagen 1.2% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

sodium hyaluronate 0.2% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

phytosterols 0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Lipids that work as an emollient and can be helpful in repairing skin barrier function

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (astaxanthin) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

astaxanthin 1.3% - 1.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help to calm down inflammation

perilla frutescens leaf extract 0.05% - 0.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Used as a fragrance for its mint-like smell

adenosine 0.15% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW
