What does the product description say?

Rénergie Multi-Lift Ultra Cream 50ml A firming day cream enriched with linseed extract to help plump the skin with moisture and minimise the look of fine lines.

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, mannitol.

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: beeswax, cera alba.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 3, hydroxypalmitoyl sphinganine

sodium hyaluronate 0.3% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

mannitol 0.2% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin

dimethicone 0.35% - 0.85%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Advanced Génifique Serum 7ml Combining a complex of seven prebiotic and probiotic-derived extracts with hyaluronic acid, the best-selling serum helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, loss of firmness and uneven tone.

Source: Lookfantastic

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - magnesium aluminum silicate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

magnesium aluminum silicate 0.45% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and, when combined with zinc carbonate and malonic acid, reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating elastin production. Also helps stabilize the product formulation

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

tocopherol 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Pure 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

Evens skin tone

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (caffeine, paeonia suffruticosa root extract). In theory, they could help neutralize free radicals in skin and lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun), but there is no evidence that these ingredients can have a noticeable effect in skin.

paeonia suffruticosa root extract 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

caffeine 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes

triticum vulgare germ oil 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A good emoillient. Contains vitamin E which can help neutralise free radicals, however the oil is unstable. Avoid if you have gluten or wheat sensitivity (including food allergies).
