LANEIGE Perfect Renew 5D Sun Protector Essence 50ml
Works for
MoisturizingPanthenol, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 + 20 moreWorks well
“Weightless ultra-light texture brings a natural finish, leaving the skin moist and glowy.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, hexapeptide-9, panthenol
Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · Adenosine, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 + 4 moreWorks well
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, hexapeptide-9.
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.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (acetyl octapeptide-3 0.10% - 0.20%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.20% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.30%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Adenosine 0.25% - 0.45%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
- Humectants (acetyl octapeptide-3 0.10% - 0.20%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.20%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.30%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.30%, hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.25% - 0.45%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.50%, panthenol 0.45% - 0.65% and glycerin 3.20% - 3.90%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
