Product summary

Ingredient callouts

Peptides (sh-oligopeptide-2 0.10% - 0.40% and sh-oligopeptide-1 0.10% - 0.40%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
Adenosine 0.10% - 0.50%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
Humectants (fructose 0.10% - 0.45%, fructooligosaccharides 0.10% - 0.45%, betaine 0.10% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.45%, soluble collagen 0.20% - 0.75%, polyglycerin-3 3.50% - 5.20% and glycerin 4.70% - 7.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?

Kaine Chaga Collagen Charging Serum is enriched with 70% Chaga Mushroom extract Boosts skin with vibrant nourishing energy, leaving skin vitalized with radiant glow Plant-derived Squalene and Jojoba Oil deeply moisturize skin for smooth, supple healthy skin Vegan Collagen, Adenosine, EGF and FGF help improve wrinkles and skin elasticity for firm-looking, youthful complexion

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

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2.

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.

adenosine 0.1% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)

sh-oligopeptide-1 0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

sh-oligopeptide-2 0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

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: betaine, fructooligosaccharides.

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: chondrus crispus extract, ricinus communis seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2

sodium hyaluronate 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

soluble collagen 0.2% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

squalane 5.3% - 7.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
