“jane iredale's BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum is a lightweight, non-greasy hyaluronic serum that replenishes and locks in moisture as it smooths, softens and brightens the skin.”
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:
glycerin, hydrolyzed collagen.
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: hydrolyzed collagen, glyceryl polymethacrylate.
Anti-agingZinc gluconate, Copper gluconateNot delivered
“Reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines for more youthful skin.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - copper gluconate, zinc gluconate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin toneZinc gluconate, Copper gluconateNot delivered
“A lightweight, non-greasy hyaluronic serum that replenishes and locks in moisture as it smooths, softens and brightens the skin.”
This product contains ingredients (copper gluconate, zinc gluconate) 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.
