Works for
Anti-agingAdenosine, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 1 moreWorks well
“-Pea Peptides Visibly firm, improve the look of skin's elasticity, and even the appearance of skin tone.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
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.
MoisturizingCaprylic/capric triglyceride, Coco-caprylate/caprate + 13 moreWorks
“-Organic Shea Butter Rich in a high concentration of omega 6 to moisturize and soften the skin.”
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.
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, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
Evens skin toneHexylresorcinol, Pisum sativum extractNot delivered
“-Pea Peptides Visibly firm, improve the look of skin's elasticity, and even the appearance of skin tone.”
This product contains ingredients (hexylresorcinol) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Hexylresorcinol, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (hexylresorcinol) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
