“L'Occitane Immortelle Reset Night Oil-in-Serum combines the moisturising powers of an oil with the benefits of a serum.”
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, butylene glycol.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, limnanthes alba seed oil.
Anti-agingAdenosine, Limnanthes alba seed oil + 1 moreMay help
“L’OCCITANE’s iconic and powerful anti-oxidant, Immortelle plant extracts have the power to boost collagen production and double the rate of micro-circulation in the skin, aiding in cell renewal and skin firmness.”
This product contains adenosine. 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.
