Promise: Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Working to gently resurface the skin and restore radiance, the polish utilises pure minerals and Pumpkin and Pomegranate enzymes to expertly slough away dulling dead skin cells and surface debris, so skin appears smoother, renewed and more even in tone.
This product contains ingredients (lactobacillus/pumpkin ferment extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| lactobacillus/pumpkin ferment extract | LOW |  | |
| lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extract | LOW | | |
| retinyl palmitate | MEDIUM | | |

Solutions for. . Dryness .
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, butylene 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: helianthus annuus seed oil, glyceryl stearate.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| helianthus annuus seed oil | HIGH | | |
| glycerin | HIGH | | |
| trihydroxystearin | MEDIUM | | |

| Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect | |
