MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 17 moreStrong evidence
“Benefits: A fast-absorbing face oil that soothes and moisturizes skin with a non-sticky finish.”
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:
fructooligosaccharides, 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: helianthus annuus seed oil unsaponifiables, hydrogenated polyisobutene.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, ceramide np, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-5
Anti-agingAcetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, Centella asiatica extract + 4 moreModerate evidence
“Enriched with Black Truffle Extract to help restore skin's ability to fight against the ageing process.”
This product contains acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, centella asiatica extract, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-5. 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.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Ficus carica fruit extract, Centella asiatica extract + 6 moreModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica extract, ficus carica fruit 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.

Product summary
"La Muse - Royal Comfort Face Oil" is effective for: Moisturizing
This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide np 0.15% - 0.55%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.15% - 0.60%, acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.10% - 0.50%, dipeptide-2 0.10% - 0.50% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.10% - 0.40%). 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 (hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.15% - 0.50%, fructooligosaccharides 0.15% - 0.55%, saccharomyces ferment filtrate 0.15% - 0.65% and glycerin 22.00% - 33.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
