Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.45% - 1.00%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 4.00% - 5.90%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 5.00% - 7.60% and sh-oligopeptide-1 6.60% - 9.90%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
Another helpful ingredient in this product is Linoleic Acid. It is one of the fatty acids naturally present in skin. It is part of the skin barrier. Preliminary research shows that it might be able to reduce clogged pores.
Humectants (isomalt 0.15% - 0.60%, mannitol 0.35% - 0.75%, urea 0.30% - 0.75%, yeast extract 0.30% - 0.75%, glycerin 0.40% - 0.95%, sodium hyaluronate 0.50% - 1.10%, trehalose 0.60% - 1.40%, sodium pca 1.40% - 2.10% and hyaluronic acid 23.00% - 34.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

This product contains palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, resveratrol, sh-oligopeptide-1, vitis vinifera seed extract. 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.

sh-oligopeptide-1 6.6% - 9.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 4% - 5.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

palmitoyl tripeptide-1 5% - 7.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Evens skin tone

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glutathione

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: resveratrol.

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

glutathione 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A peptide that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and reduce melanin production resulting in skin lightening effect and reduction in hyperpigmentation. It can also help attract moisture to the upper layer of the skin

resveratrol 0.95% - 1.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as even out the skin tone

dipotassium glycyrrhizate 0.3% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A salt derived from licorice. Works as an emollient to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help calm down inflammation. Might be helpful for skin lightening

Moisturizing

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, hyaluronic acid.

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: squalane, beta-sitosterol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, sh-oligopeptide-1, urea

squalane 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.

superoxide dismutase 1.6% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An antioxidant enzyme that is naturally present in skin. It can help support skin barrier function and reduce inflammation in skin. It is used in topical medications for inflammatory skin conditions including atopic dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis. There are three types of natural Superoxide Dismutase in human skin. The compound used in topical treatments and cosmetics are mimics of typically one of these natural variants

isomalt 0.15% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (glutathione, resveratrol, superoxide dismutase, vitis vinifera seed extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

vitis vinifera seed extract 0.3% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A plant extract that contains resveratrol and other anti-oxidant compounds that can help neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation in skin and even out its tone. Can be also used to stabilize the product formulation

glutathione 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

resveratrol 0.95% - 1.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as even out the skin tone
