Works for
MoisturizingTripeptide-1, Tripeptide-10 citrulline + 13 moreWorks well
“This ultra rich Age-Repair Treatment Cream is formulated with advanced Phyto-Peptides that noticeably restore and reduce the depth and appearance of wrinkles; leaving skin looking beautifully healthy, hydrated and visibly rejuvenated.”
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:
alanine, 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: camellia oleifera seed oil, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline
Anti-agingSerine, Tripeptide-10 citrulline + 2 moreMay help
“This ultra rich Age-Repair Treatment Cream is formulated with advanced Phyto-Peptides that noticeably restore and reduce the depth and appearance of wrinkles; leaving skin looking beautifully healthy, hydrated and visibly rejuvenated.”
This product contains serine, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline. These ingredients 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 · Camellia sinensis extract, Camellia oleifera seed oil + 3 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis extract) 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.
