WIMJ summary for anti-blemish

This product contains ingredients (glycolic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

WIMJ summary for exfoliation

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycolic acid	HIGH
lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extract	LOW
lactic acid	HIGH

"Helping to balance the skin’s sebum and moisture levels, the mask works to reveal a clear, bright and flawless-looking complexion."

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: glycerin, caprylyl glycol.

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: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, helianthus annuus seed cera.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
oryza sativa bran oil	HIGH
simmondsia chinensis seed oil	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains glycolic acid.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycolic acid	HIGH
lactic acid	MEDIUM

WIMJ summary for evens skin tone

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glycolic acid

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycolic acid	HIGH
lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extract	LOW
lactic acid	HIGH

Potential irritants

IRRITANCY

HIGH

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
jojoba esters
alcohol denat.
glycolic acid

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	4.3% - 6.4%
jojoba esters An emollient made of jojoba oil. Helps soften the skin and support its barrier function	3.6% - 5.4%
alcohol denat. Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products	2.7% - 4.1%
glycolic acid An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid	2.1% - 3.1%
distarch phosphate	1.7% - 2.5%
kaolin A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color	1.6% - 2.5%
punica granatum seed powder	1.4% - 2.1%
simmondsia chinensis seed oil Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.	1.1% - 1.7%
isononyl isononanoate Forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness	0.85% - 1.3%
oryza sativa bran oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant properties	0.5% - 1.2%
pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture	0.45% - 1.05%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	0.45% - 1.05%
glyceryl stearate citrate Helps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.85%
helianthus annuus seed cera Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.8%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.3% - 0.75%
salix alba bark extract A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. It contains a compound salicin that can theoretically be converted into salicylic acid that, in turn, helps reduce inflammation in skin, but the evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking and the extract is usually not used in a concentration that would enable an exfoliating effect	0.2% - 0.75%
caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture	0.2% - 0.8%
citrus aurantifolia fruit extract Used as a fragrance	0.15% - 0.65%
glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products	0.2% - 0.7%
hamamelis virginiana leaf extract A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating	0.15% - 0.55%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)	0.15% - 0.5%
lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extract An enzyme-based exfoliant	0.1% - 0.45%
leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine	0.1% - 0.45%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.1% - 0.45%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.1% - 0.35%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.05% - 0.3%
potassium sorbate A preservative	0.05% - 0.25%
sodium benzoate A preservative	0.05% - 0.25%
sodium polyacrylate Used to create a gel-like product texture, as well as to stabilize emulsions	0.1% - 0.3%
tetrasodium glutamate diacetate Helps stabilize the product formulation	0.01% - 0.1%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.05% - 0.15%
