MoisturizingParaffinum liquidum, Ceramide eop + 14 moreWorks well
“The blend of amino acids, ceramides, and oils such as rice bran, rice germ, jojoba, and sake squalane deeply moisturizes the skin, reducing dryness and smoothing out 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:
arginine, 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: arginine, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, paraffinum liquidum, phytosphingosine
Evens skin toneArbutinMay help
“The cream helps diminish dark spots and evens out skin tone, leaving the skin looking brighter and more radiant over time.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: arbutin.
Anti-agingTocopherolNot delivered
“The blend of amino acids, ceramides, and oils such as rice bran, rice germ, jojoba, and sake squalane deeply moisturizes the skin, reducing dryness and smoothing out wrinkles.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient arbutin might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Arbutin, TocopherolMay help
This product contains antioxidants (arbutin) 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.
