Humectants (glycerin 0.15% - 0.65%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What can the product work for?

Evens skin tone

Moisturizing

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": 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).

glycerin 0.15% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

triethylhexanoin 2.5% - 3.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin

lecithin 0.1% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (hexylresorcinol) 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.

hexylresorcinol 1.8% - 2.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might be helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals in skin

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

It also evens tone thanks to its selective depigmenting ingredients such as hexylresorcinol and phytic acid. It evens and brightens skin tone.
