MoisturizingCeramide ng, Palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 + 22 moreStrong evidence
“Ze bevat een hoge concentratie koninginnengelei met lipideherstellende eigenschappen² en een bijenwasboter om vocht vast te houden in de kern van de opperhuid, voor een soepele huid die comfortabel aanvoelt.”
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:
diglycerin, 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, jojoba esters.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ng, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12
Anti-agingPalmitoyl hexapeptide-12, Limnanthes alba seed oil + 2 moreStrong evidence
“Elke dag opnieuw worden rimpels verminderd, wordt de huid steviger en ziet ze er gladder en stralender uit.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains palmitoyl hexapeptide-12.
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.
