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: alanine, arginine.

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: arginine, myristyl myristate.

alanine 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help to lighten the skin, but solid evidence is lacking

arginine 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin

atelocollagen 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A protein that helps to attract moisture to the upper layer of the skin and might be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Anti-aging

This product contains atelocollagen, lysine, serine, threonine. 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.

atelocollagen 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A protein that helps to attract moisture to the upper layer of the skin and might be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles

lysine 0.15% - 0.25%

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

serine 0.1% - 0.25%
