Institut Esthederm Bronz Impulse Face and Body Spray
Works for
MoisturizingAcetyl hexapeptide-1, Pyrus malus fruit extract + 16 moreWorks well
“Its nourishing formula protects skin without filters or screens, while creating a quicker, deeper tan that can be enjoyed throughout the summer months and beyond.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": artemia extract, aspartic acid.
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: acetyl hexapeptide-1
Anti-agingAspartic acid, Creatine + 4 moreMay help
“Strengthened and enriched, skin will appear summer ready and more youthful.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-1, aspartic acid, carnosine, creatine. These ingredients 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Creatine, Imperata cylindrica root extract + 6 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (carnosine) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - creatine, imperata cylindrica root extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-1 0.05% - 0.10%). 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.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in this product (0.80% - 1.15%) can also further help improve the skin barrier. It might be able to calm down inflammation and reduce sensitivity. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is an active compound from the licorice root.
- Humectants (dextran 0.05% - 0.10%, artemia extract 0.20% - 0.35%, carnosine 0.20% - 0.40%, imperata cylindrica root extract 0.30% - 0.60%, glycerin 0.45% - 0.65%, mannitol 0.60% - 0.95% and aspartic acid 1.30% - 1.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
