Product summary

"Hey Honey - Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory and Moisturizing

Ingredient callouts

this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.10% - 0.20%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 0.55% - 0.85%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
Humectants (saccharide isomerate 0.40% - 0.65%, sodium hyaluronate 0.65% - 1.00%, panthenol 0.55% - 0.85% and glycerin 4.50% - 5.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

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, saccharide isomerate.

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, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

simmondsia chinensis seed oil 1.6% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.

squalane 1.8% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.

squalene 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An oil that is naturally part of skin sebum that helps to soften its upper layer, reduce water loss and neutralize free radicals. It might be comedogenic. Avoid applying large concentrations (or pure oil) before sun exposure as oxidized squalene can clog pores and lead to skin irritation. Today squalene is mostly derived from vegetable oils or synthetized by yeast

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (squalene) 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.

squalene 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

carthamus tinctorius seed oil 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An emollient that helps soften the skin and might help calm down inflammation

hippophae rhamnoides fruit oil 0.95% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant oil that might somewhat help to neutralize free radicals. It could be irritating
