Anti-agingAspartic acid, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 1 moreMay help
“Echinacea and Toning Hops create the illusion of a more youthful complexion, while antioxidant-rich Vitamin E creates a powerful barrier against harsh external factors, that could potentially cause further damage.”
This product contains aspartic acid. This ingredient 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.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Cetearyl alcohol + 10 moreWorks
“The cooling gel texture of the facial cream allows it to glide across your base effortlessly, locking in hydration for long-lasting, touchable softness.”
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:
aspartic acid, glycerin.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, borago officinalis seed oil.
