Product Summary
"Josie Maran Cosmetics - Argan Reserve Neck Serum" is effective for: Moisturizing and Anti-aging
Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (heptapeptide-15 palmitate 0.15% - 0.25%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-50 0.15% - 0.25% and palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.15% - 0.25%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (heptapeptide-15 palmitate 0.15% - 0.25%, saccharomyces/zinc ferment 0.15% - 0.30%, saccharomyces/silicon ferment 0.15% - 0.25%, saccharomyces/magnesium ferment 0.15% - 0.25%, saccharomyces/iron ferment 0.15% - 0.25%, saccharomyces/copper ferment 0.15% - 0.25% and glycerin 2.00% - 2.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Argan Reserve Neck Serum For the first time ever, harness the line-smoothing and deeply hydrating benefits of Argan Reserve in an anti-aging neck serum rollerball!
Source: Josie Maran
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains heptapeptide-15 palmitate.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-50, palmitoyl tripeptide-38.
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.

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, saccharomyces/copper ferment.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, argania spinosa kernel oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: heptapeptide-15 palmitate, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-50, palmitoyl tripeptide-38
An emollient that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Might have some weak anti-oxidant properties
A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function
