Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH
Naturally present in skin (urea makes up about 7% of natural moisturizing factors in skin). Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Also has a positive effect on the skin barrier beyond the humectant action. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations

Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Containing DAE Complex and vitamin C, the serum is a readily absorbed liquid anti-aging treatment that enables dramatic revitalization for a smoother and more youthful-looking complexion.
ascorbyl palmitate
4.5% -
6.7%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.
Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Deeper lines appear far less pronounced, skin tones will even and the skin will appear noticeably younger and healthier.
