“Fights the signs of ageing by boosting collagen and elastin.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-5, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2. There is some human evidence that these ingredients help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": dextran, glycerin.
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: palmitoyl tripeptide-5, panthenol, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2 2.20% - 3.20% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 3.00% - 4.50%). 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.
- An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 0.85% - 1.30%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 3.90% - 5.90%, dextran 0.15% - 0.55%, pantolactone 0.40% - 1.00%, panthenol 0.85% - 1.30% and glycerin 4.70% - 7.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
