Moisturizing15 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“Enriched with Blue Algae, the balm deeply hydrates and moisturises the skin, helping to banish signs of dehydration and dryness for a suppler finish.”
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:
algae extract, 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: beeswax, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
Evens skin tone2 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“The nourishing balm helps to maintain the firmness of your skin thanks to Horseradish while brightening and evening your skin tone, helping to diminish the prominence of dark circles.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) 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.
Anti-aging5 ingredients credited for this claimWeak support
“The Jurlique Nutri-Define Supreme Eye Contour Balm has been specially formulated to care for the delicate eye area, helping to refresh and reenergise while softening signs of ageing.”
