What the product description says
“AQUATIDE: With its Nobel Prize winning recognition for its water retaining and anti-oxidative functions through Autophagy mechanism, Aquatide has proven to be an active ingredient to help against skin aging, inflammation and skin damages from pollutant, providing stronger and longer-lasting anti-oxidative efficacy than that of Vitamin C.”

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

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.

AdenosineKey activeEffect: HighMight help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)~0.35–0.85%
TocopherolEffect: Low, below effective dosePure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself~0.1–0.5%

What the product description says
“An effective combination of moisturization and skin soothing as a comprehensive solution against everyday's cumulative skin damages from stress, UV rays, harmful environmental factors and daily use of face masks which in all accelerate premature skin aging.”

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: allantoin, dipotassium glycyrrhizate.

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: squalane, caprylyl glycol.

Product summary

"LAGOM - Cellus Aqualane Solution" is effective for: Anti-aging

This product could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • Adenosine 0.35% - 0.85%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
  • Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in this product (1.20% - 1.80%) can also further help improve the skin barrier. It might be able to calm down inflammation and reduce sensitivity. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is an active compound from the licorice root.
  • In addition, this product contains Allantoin (23.00% - 34.00%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
  • Humectants (dipotassium glycyrrhizate 0.15% - 0.55%, allantoin 0.35% - 0.80%, glycerin 0.60% - 1.35%, dipotassium glycyrrhizate 1.20% - 1.80% and allantoin 23.00% - 34.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
