MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 9 moreStrong evidence
“Microbiome-Balancing Private Oil Concentrate For Menopausal Women - This luxurious, nature-derived oil is designed to nourish menopausal vulva skin.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, TocopherolModerate evidence
“Clinically proven peptides visibly plump the labia, restoring suppleness and elasticity that naturally decline with age.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1. 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.
Evens skin toneAspergillus fermentWeak evidence
“Brighten Skin Tone: Powerful plant-derived antioxidants diminish dark patches and promote luminous, even skin.”
