WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-38. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
palmitoyl tripeptide-38	MEDIUM
ilex paraguariensis leaf extract	LOW
glucosamine hcl	LOW

"NIGHT REPLENISHMENT CONCENTRATE"

From product name

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

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: glucosamine hcl, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethiconol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-38, urea

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
palmitoyl tripeptide-38	HIGH
cetyl dimethicone	HIGH
dimethiconol	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis extract, ginkgo biloba leaf extract, ilex paraguariensis leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
ilex paraguariensis leaf extract	MEDIUM
ginkgo biloba leaf extract	MEDIUM
camellia sinensis extract	MEDIUM
