Mary&May Seoul Edition: Idebenone + Blackberry Complex Serum 80ml
Works for
Anti-agingHydroxydecyl ubiquinoneMay help
“Packed with Idebenone (1000ppm) that contains more powerful antioxidant effect than Vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10.”
This product contains hydroxydecyl ubiquinone. 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.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Hydroxydecyl ubiquinone, Rubus idaeus extract + 1 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (hydroxydecyl ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
MoisturizingNot advertised by the brand · Glycerin, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 4 moreWorks
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:
arginine, 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: arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
