MAKE UP FOR EVER ULTRA HD SKIN BOOSTER

“Use Skin Booster alone or mix a few drops with your foundation or primer to boost comfort and hydration.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.
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).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-9, panthenol
Anti-agingAcetyl tetrapeptide-9, TocopherolMay help
“Recharge your complexion with our hydrating face serum ULTRA HD Skin Booster that preps skin for makeup and smooths the appearance of fine lines.”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-9. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
