Anti-agingHeptapeptide-15 palmitate, Copper heptapeptide-14 pantothenate + 3 moreStrong evidence
“The results: reduced wrinkles and increased skin elasticity, even skin tone, reduced blemishes and minimized pore size.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains heptapeptide-15 palmitate.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl tetrapeptide-11, copper heptapeptide-14 pantothenate, hexapeptide-48 hcl.
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.
MoisturizingUrea, Acetyl tetrapeptide-11 + 25 moreStrong evidence
“Intense moisturization levels infuse skin with radiance and glow to target the key signs of aging.”
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:
algae extract, dextran.
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: dimethicone, peg-10 dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-11, copper heptapeptide-14 pantothenate, heptapeptide-15 palmitate, hexapeptide-48 hcl, urea

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "LIFTLAB - LIFT + PERFECT Total Rejuvenation Cream" works well for improving skin hydration The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Heptapeptide-15 palmitate, urea, algae extract, dextran and fructose in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Algae extract, glycosphingolipids, dimethicone, peg-10 dimethicone and squalane in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Ingredient callouts
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (hexapeptide-48 hcl 0.20% - 0.40%, heptapeptide-15 palmitate 0.25% - 0.45%, acetyl tetrapeptide-11 0.25% - 0.50% and copper heptapeptide-14 pantothenate 0.30% - 0.55%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides 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.
