“With both immediate and long-term effects, the concentrate penetrates quickly and imparts an acid-free exfoliating blend to help create a smoother, plumper appearance, whilst minimising signs of dryness and dehydration.”
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:
glucosamine hcl, 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: chondrus crispus extract, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-9
Anti-agingSh-oligopeptide-1, Sh-oligopeptide-2 + 4 moreMay help
“Lancer Skincare's Contour Décolleté is an innovative formula that works to firm ageing skin around the neck, décolleté and bust area.”
This product contains sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-9. 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 toneGlucosamine hcl, Pisum sativum extractMay help
“Acid-Free Exfoliating Complex: helps to diminish the look of hyperpigmentation for a brighter, more uniform skin tone”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: glucosamine hcl.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“With both immediate and long-term effects, the concentrate penetrates quickly and imparts an acid-free exfoliating blend to help create a smoother, plumper appearance, whilst minimising signs of dryness and dehydration.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
