“Black Rice Hyaluronic Anti-Wrinkle Serum”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
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.

“The naturally fermented black rice extract helps to enhance skin elasticity and firmness, while the bamboo shoot extract provides deep hydration and strengthens the skin barrier.”
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:
glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia seed oil, Oryza sativa extract + 6 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (camellia seed oil) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
