WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains gluconolactone.

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.

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: gluconolactone

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: glycyrrhiza glabra root extract.

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

WIMJ summary

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: gluconolactone.

What does the product description say?

"Visibly soothe, refine and balance moisture with this hydrating essence."

WIMJ summary

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, hyaluronic acid.

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, coco-caprylate/caprate.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
helianthus annuus seed oil	HIGH
ubiquinone	HIGH
gluconolactone	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (thioctic acid, ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

The following ingredients - camellia sinensis leaf extract, gluconolactone also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
thioctic acid	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	23% - 34%
pyrus malus fruit water	4.4% - 6.7%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	4.2% - 6.3%
caprylyl/capryl glucoside Helps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent	4.1% - 6.1%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	2.7% - 4%
cucumis sativus fruit extract Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect	1.9% - 2.9%
glycyrrhiza glabra root extract A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals	1.5% - 2.2%
tamarindus indica seed polysaccharide	1.2% - 1.9%
hyaluronic acid One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. Naturally present in skin. Typically has large molecule size unless advertised otherwise on the product label. Helps support skin's barrier function and may help to reduce inflammation	1.1% - 1.6%
zanthoxylum bungeanum fruit extract Pepper extract. Might help neutralize free radicals in skin	0.95% - 1.4%
gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals	0.6% - 1.35%
coconut alkanes An emollient that helps soften the skin	0.55% - 1.35%
oleyl alcohol Used as a fragrance	0.5% - 1.2%
ubiquinone Coenzyme Q10. It helps neutralize free radicals in skin, improves skin hydration and might be helpful agains fine lines and wrinkles. It can be an allergen	0.45% - 1.05%
dimethylaminoethanol tartrate	0.45% - 1.1%
thioctic acid	0.4% - 0.95%
ascorbic acid The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging	0.4% - 0.95%
tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself	0.4% - 0.9%
helianthus annuus seed oil 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	0.4% - 0.95%
carya ovata bark extract	0.35% - 0.75%
polyglyceryl-5 oleate	0.35% - 0.8%

xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.2% - 0.75%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.2% - 0.7%
citrus aurantium dulcis oil Used as a fragrance. It can be irritating and cause photosensitivity	0.15% - 0.7%
litsea cubeba fruit oil An essential oil with a lemon-like smell that is extracted from a fruit grown in Asia. Used as a fragrance	0.15% - 0.6%
cinnamomum camphora oil	0.15% - 0.65%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.15% - 0.6%

leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria.

propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	0.15% - 0.55%
