Luzern Laboratories Nuit Hydra Enzyme Masque
Works for
MoisturizingEthylhexyl palmitate, Glycerin + 13 moreWorks
“Brighten, smooth and hydrate while you sleep with Nuit Hydra-Enzyme Masque from Luzern Laboratories.”
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:
arginine, 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: arginine, squalane.
Evens skin toneLactobacillus/pumpkin ferment extract, Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract + 1 moreNot delivered
“Vitamin C and organic licorice extract assist in fading discoloration and uneven tone.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract, lactobacillus/pumpkin ferment extract) 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.
ExfoliationLactobacillus/pumpkin ferment extractNot delivered
“A bio-fermentation complex of enzymes and peptides gently speeds the shedding of surface cells while you sleep.”
This product might help exfoliate the skin with lactobacillus/pumpkin ferment extract, but this ingredient is not the most effective.
Anti-agingPrunus amygdalus dulcis oil, Sodium ascorbyl phosphateNot delivered
“Pumpkin Enzyme Ferment: gently breaks down the dead outer layers of the skin to reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles and surface discoloration”

A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
