Works for
MoisturizingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 14 moreWorks well
“This lightweight, hydrating and firming serum plumps and replenishes the skin's moisture levels to improve overall tone and texture.”
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:
allantoin, 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: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, panthenol
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 3 moreMay help
“Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, centella asiatica extract, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1. There is some human evidence that these ingredients help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.

Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Centella asiatica extract, Lactobacillus ferment + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.60% - 2.50%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60% and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.15% - 0.65%). 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.
- In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.10% - 1.60%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.20%, lactobacillus ferment 2.60% - 3.80%, glycerin 3.30% - 4.90%, allantoin 1.10% - 1.60% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.60% - 2.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
