Works for
Anti-agingGlycolic acid, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 + 5 moreWorks well
“Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Aids in improving skin's elasticity. Retexturizing and brightening. Fast-absorbing, lightweight formula.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains glycolic acid.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7.
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.
ExfoliationGlycolic acidWorks well
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid.
MoisturizingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 + 8 moreWorks well
“Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Aids in improving skin's elasticity. Retexturizing and brightening. Fast-absorbing, lightweight formula.”
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:
algae extract, 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: algae extract, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7
Evens skin toneGlycolic acidWorks well
“Key Benefits Helps to improve skin's texture and tone.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glycolic acid
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
- Exfoliating acids (glycolic acid 5.10% - 7.70%). In this concentration, they will have a noticeable exfoliating effect. They can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run.
- Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.00% - 1.50%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 1.30% - 1.90%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 1.40% - 2.00% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.60% - 2.40%). 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 (sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.75%, algae extract 0.40% - 0.90%, glycerin 2.70% - 4.00%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 1.40% - 2.00% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.60% - 2.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
