Evens skin toneLactobacillus/portulaca oleracea ferment extract, Magnesium ascorbyl phosphateNot delivered
“Boosts radiance and brightens complexion by evening out dullness, dark spots, discolorations and general skin damage.”
This product contains ingredients (lactobacillus/portulaca oleracea ferment extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Glycerin, Saccharomyces/zinc ferment + 12 moreWorks
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, saccharomyces/copper ferment.
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).

Ingredient callouts
- We are excited that this product contains Cannabidiol, or CBD (0.15% - 0.65%). CBD is a new active in cosmetic products, and the studies on its effect in skin are still going on. CBD is one of the compounds in the cannabis plant. It does not have any psychotropic effects. When used topically, CBD can bind to skin cell receptors and "change their behavior". It can help reduce inflammation, itching, and help support skin barrier function. It also might be able to reduce acne.
- Humectants (saccharomyces/silicon ferment 0.15% - 0.70%, saccharomyces/iron ferment 0.20% - 0.75%, saccharomyces/copper ferment 0.20% - 0.80%, saccharomyces/zinc ferment 0.30% - 0.75% and glycerin 2.00% - 3.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
