Works for
MoisturizingHexapeptide-11, Glycerin + 10 moreWorks well
“Plus, antioxidant-rich black pine also serves to hydrate as it smooths uneven tone and texture.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: hexapeptide-11
Anti-agingEpigallocatechin gallate, Epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside + 2 moreMay help
“Targeting common concerns, the formula helps so minimise the appearance of wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles.”
This product contains epigallocatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside, hexapeptide-11. These ingredients 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.
Evens skin toneEpigallocatechin gallate, Albizia julibrissin bark extract + 1 moreMay help
“Plus, antioxidant-rich black pine also serves to hydrate as it smooths uneven tone and texture.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: albizia julibrissin bark extract, epigallocatechin gallate.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Epigallocatechin gallate, Epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside + 5 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - epigallocatechin gallate also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

A polyphenol found in tea. This particular compound abbreviated EGCG is the most powerful antioxidant among those extracted from tea (usually green tea). Unfortunately, EGCG is unstable, requires a low pH (below 4) to prevent quick degradation, and does not penetrate the skin very well. This is why the full anti-oxidant effect of EGCG is typically not realized when it is added to topical skincare

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (hexapeptide-11 0.10% - 0.35%). 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 (sodium hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.15% and glycerin 4.20% - 6.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
