KORRES Apothecary Wild Rose Sérum Biphase Anti-Taches
Works for
MoisturizingPanthenol, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 8 moreWorks well
“10% wild rose oil, rich in essential fatty acids, intensely moisturizes and plumps skin.”
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.
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, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
Evens skin toneAscorbyl tetraisopalmitate, Pancratium maritimum extract + 1 moreMay help
“It combats the appearance of brown spots, uneven skin tone and dullness.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, pancratium maritimum extract.
Anti-agingAscorbyl tetraisopalmitate, Tocopherol + 1 moreMay help
“It evens skin tone and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.”
This product contains ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate. 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, Rosa canina fruit oil + 7 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
