Anti-agingAdenosineWorks well
“Formulated with 42% noni fruit extract and other plant-based oils, this serum boasts powerful anti-aging effects that significantly minimize fine lines and wrinkles, while also leaving skin fully nourished and moisturized.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

“Formulated with 42% noni fruit extract and other plant-based oils, this serum boasts powerful anti-aging effects that significantly minimize fine lines and wrinkles, while also leaving skin fully nourished and moisturized.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
arginine, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
