What the product description says
“Royal Jelly Hydrating Overnight Mask”
Source: Cultbeauty

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, lactobacillus ferment.

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: caryodendron orinocense seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, hexapeptide-11, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, pentapeptide-18, tripeptide-29

What the product description says
“Giving tired, lacklustre skin the boot, this youth-boosting formula fortifies for a luxurious bedtime treat that’s both a treat and effective.”
Source: Cultbeauty

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains bakuchiol.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, hexapeptide-11, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, pentapeptide-18, tripeptide-29.

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.

Hexapeptide-11Key activeEffect: MediumA type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles~2.5–3.7%

Tripeptide-29Key activeEffect: Medium~0.45–1%
BakuchiolKey activeEffect: HighA plant extract that is, though different in chemical structure, acts similar to retinoids. First studies show that it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, reduce clogged pores and blemishes, and reduce inflammation. There is no conclusive evidence that bakuchiol is as effective as retinol however. The study that directly compared retinol with bakuchiol used bakuchiol applied twice daily compared to once per day for the retinol. According to this study, bakuchiol is less irritating than retinol. Bakuchiol is extracted from seeds of Babchi plant. Other parts of the plant contain coumarins that could cause allergic and irritant reactions. These compounds should be removed in the extraction process when bakuchiol is produced, but it is a good idea to be cautious and stay away from products that include the Babchi plant extracts other than purified bakuchiol to avoid irritation~0.3–0.75%
SericinEffect: Low~0.35–0.8%
Beta-glucanEffect: LowHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, calm down inflammation and irritation, restore the barrier function and support wound healing. It can be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles~0.15–0.55%

What the product description says
“Supercharged with eight advanced peptides (chains of amino acids that support skin's natural proteins like collagen and elastin), bakuchiol (nature’s answer to retinol – working to give firm, smooth, plump skin while minimising melanin synthesis to brighten and even skin tone), snail mucin (known for its intense hydrating and healing properties), and of course, royal jelly (created by bees and a great source of vitamins, enzymes and fatty acids that increase the moisture content of skin while encouraging cell regeneration), this leave-on mask visibly improves texture and encourages a healthy, lit-from-within glow.”

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: bakuchiol

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

Ingredient callouts

  • Bakuchiol in this product (the concentration is about 0.30% - 0.75%). Helps fight photodamage (wrinkles, elasticity loss and pigmentation) and can reduce clogged pores and blemishes. Bakuchiol is a compound extracted from a plant Babchi. It acts similar to retinoids, but with less irritation risk.
  • Peptides (tripeptide-29 0.45% - 1.00%, hexapeptide-11 2.50% - 3.70%, pentapeptide-18 1.30% - 1.90%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 1.00% - 1.60%, palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.85% - 1.30%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 2.00% - 3.00%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.50% - 2.30% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.50% - 1.15%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
  • Humectants (snail secretion filtrate 3.20% - 4.80%, lactobacillus ferment 0.10% - 0.50%, glycerin 4.10% - 6.20%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.60% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.50% - 1.15%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
