Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
It hydrates and calms the skin and shrinks the pores, which prevents them from filling up again.
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": fructose, 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: panthenol, urea
Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
---|---|---|---|
urea | HIGH | ||
panthenol | HIGH | ||
sodium lactate | HIGH |
Other benefit: Anti-aging
This product contains lactic acid. 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.
Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
---|---|---|---|
lactic acid | MEDIUM | ||
beta-glucan | LOW | ||
niacinamide | HIGH |
Other benefit: Evens skin tone
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: lactic 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 | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
---|---|---|---|
lactic acid | HIGH | ||
niacinamide | HIGH |
Other benefit: Exfoliation
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: lactic acid.
Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
---|---|---|---|
lactic acid | HIGH | ||
urea | MEDIUM | ||
allantoin | LOW |
