MoisturizingPanthenol, Glyceryl glucoside + 14 moreWorks well
“With a patented ingredient AQUAXYL, that contains hyaluronic acid to deliver moisture to the skin.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": allantoin, anhydroxylitol.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
ExfoliationBetaine salicylate, Capryloyl salicylic acid + 1 moreWorks well
“Further enriched with gentle exfoliators BHA and LHA to leave the skin soft and smooth without irritating the skin.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: betaine salicylate, capryloyl salicylic acid.
Evens skin toneSide benefit the brand mentions · Capryloyl salicylic acid, Dipotassium glycyrrhizateMay help
“Helps to brighten and clarify skin tone.”
This product might be able to help reduce hyperpigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains betaine salicylate. The effect, if any, is likely to be small. Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: capryloyl salicylic acid.
Anti-blemishSide benefit the brand mentions · Betaine salicylate, Capryloyl salicylic acid + 2 moreMay help
“An East Asian medicinal herb that naturally deep cleans pores.”
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains betaine salicylate.
