Benefits
Promise: Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Absorbs quickly into skin to create a smooth and even skin tone without leaving any stickiness.
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract, morus alba bark extract, paeonia lactiflora root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| glycyrrhiza glabra root extract | LOW |  |  |
| morus alba bark extract | LOW | | |
| paeonia lactiflora root extract | LOW | | |

Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Formulated with Alaska Glacier Water and Shea Butter to provide deep hydration and nourishment.
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:
algae extract, 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, helianthus annuus seed oil.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| algae extract | HIGH | | |
| dimethicone | HIGH | | |
| glycerin | HIGH | | |
