MoisturizingCaprylic/capric triglyceride, Glycerin + 11 moreGood evidence
“Enriched with Imperial Peony extract and Iris flower, the formula helps rehydrate the skin to help restore its natural colour with a healthy rosy glow.”
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, hydrolyzed soy protein.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, myristyl myristate.
Evens skin toneCapryloyl salicylic acid, Hydrolyzed soy proteinModerate evidence
“Revived, skin tone looks more rosy and beautiful. . Day after day, skin feels denser and firmer.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: capryloyl salicylic acid.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
ExfoliationNot advertised by the brand · Capryloyl salicylic acid, Hydroxyethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic acidStrong evidence
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: capryloyl salicylic acid.
