Works for
Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid) 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.
A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Can help neutralize free radicals and help reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products
A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals
A fruit extract that is used to add a fragrance to the product. It might have some antioxidant properties
Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Think antioxidant-rich vitamin c that will reduce fine lines and dark spots; moisture-slurping hyaluronic acid that will absorb and hold moisture within your skin; and pineapple and pomegranate extracts that will ‘rev up’ even the most dull, dehydrated skin for an overall more juicy and plumped up complexion.

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Think Bright Glow + Hydrate Serum
Source: From product name
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
