Works for
MoisturizingN-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, Dimethicone + 9 moreWorks well
“Each application leaves the skin feeling cool, smooth and hydrated with a subtle citrus scent derived from all natural fruit extracts while prejuvenating your skin to prevent the formation of wrinkles and skin damage.”
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, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer.
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, isododecane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate
Anti-agingN-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, Tocopherol + 1 moreMay help
“Each application leaves the skin feeling cool, smooth and hydrated with a subtle citrus scent derived from all natural fruit extracts while prejuvenating your skin to prevent the formation of wrinkles and skin damage.”
This product contains n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate. This ingredient 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.

Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 1.20% - 1.40%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.70% - 1.05% and glycerin 0.25% - 0.45%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
