MoisturizingSqualene, Simmondsia chinensis seed oil + 1 moreWorks
“Fast absorbing precious organic oils reduce water loss and boost hydration.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, squalene.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-agingNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Just a drop or two of Luzern Laboratories's The Sublime Oil leaves your skin feeling smooth and silky to the touch and helps soften the look of emerging lines and wrinkles.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient squalene might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Squalene, Rosa canina seed oil + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (squalene) 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.
