What the product description says
“It contains a slew of anti-aging superstars, including bakuchiol to fight inflammation, peptides to promote collagen synthesis and tocopherol to soften fine lines.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains bakuchiol, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, dipeptide-2, dipeptide-4, hexapeptide-2, hexapeptide-9, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-3.

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.

BakuchiolKey activeEffect: HighA plant extract that is, though different in chemical structure, acts similar to retinoids. First studies show that it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, reduce clogged pores and blemishes, and reduce inflammation. There is no conclusive evidence that bakuchiol is as effective as retinol however. The study that directly compared retinol with bakuchiol used bakuchiol applied twice daily compared to once per day for the retinol. According to this study, bakuchiol is less irritating than retinol. Bakuchiol is extracted from seeds of Babchi plant. Other parts of the plant contain coumarins that could cause allergic and irritant reactions. These compounds should be removed in the extraction process when bakuchiol is produced, but it is a good idea to be cautious and stay away from products that include the Babchi plant extracts other than purified bakuchiol to avoid irritation~0.75–1.1%

This product contains antioxidants (bakuchiol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

Works well

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: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3.

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: vinyl dimethicone, butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, acetyl tetrapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, dipeptide-2, dipeptide-4, hexapeptide-2, hexapeptide-9, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-3

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: bakuchiol

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.

A naturally occurring peptide. One of the most studied peptides in dermatology. It is sometimes abbreviated GHK-Cu. Belongs to the class of carrier peptides. It stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of collagen in skin. It is released in skin wounds and inflammation to support healing. It accelerates wound-healing of the skin and can stimulate hair growth. There are preliminary studies that confirm that copper tripeptide can help support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles and decrease inflammation in skin.

  • Peptides (palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.30% - 0.55%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.30% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.40% - 0.60%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.50% - 0.70%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.50% - 0.75%, hexapeptide-9 0.50% - 0.80%, hexapeptide-2 0.55% - 0.80%, tripeptide-3 0.55% - 0.80%, tripeptide-1 0.60% - 0.90%, copper tripeptide-1 0.55% - 0.80%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.55% - 0.80%, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 0.55% - 0.80%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.55% - 0.80%, dipeptide-4 0.55% - 0.80%, dipeptide-2 0.55% - 0.80%, nonapeptide-1 0.55% - 0.80%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.50% - 0.80% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.50% - 0.80%). 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 (hexapeptide-9 0.50% - 0.80%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.55% - 0.80%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.50% - 0.80% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.50% - 0.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
