KAPLAN MD SKINCARE INTENSIVE ANTI-AGING HAND TREATMENT
Works for
MoisturizingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Glycerin + 11 moreWorks well
“A luxurious treatment moisturizer that quenches the skin with 5 Essential Moisturizers for deep, long-lasting hydration and a velvety soft after-feel.”
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Ilex paraguariensis leaf extract + 3 moreMay help
“INTENSIVE ANTI-AGING HAND TREATMENT”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8. 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.

“An extraordinary complex of Crushed Diamonds and Vitamin C helps brighten uneven skin tone and diminish the look of dark spots, veins, and discoloration.”

Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis extract, Ilex paraguariensis leaf extract + 5 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis 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.

Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.90% - 1.10%). 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 (hyaluronic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate 0.70% - 1.05%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.90% - 1.10% and glycerin 3.30% - 4.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
