Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "MEDI-PEEL - Derma Maison Vitabenone Brightening Cream" works well for improving skin hydration This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Panthenol, betaine, glycerin, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Pentylene glycol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.01% - 0.05%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.50% - 1.15% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: lecithin, titanium dioxide, hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, hydrogenated lecithin, sodium ascorbyl phosphate and niacinamide

Irritation risk

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Formulated with Idebenon which is renowned for its outstanding anti-aging property to help reduce wrinkles.

Source: Yesstyle

This product contains hydroxydecyl ubiquinone, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4. These ingredients 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.

palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.01% - 0.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

hydroxydecyl ubiquinone 0.01% - 0.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An analogue of coenzyme Q10 that has a lower molecular weight, which can improve its ability to penetrate the skin. It helps neutralize free radicals in skin, improves skin hydration and might be helpful agains fine lines and wrinkles. It can be an allergen

niacinamide 0.3% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

This mega-sized cream is designed to reduce hyperpigmentation while boosting moisture level.

Source: Yesstyle

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, 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: palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, panthenol

hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.01% - 0.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. A version of it is naturally present in skin

hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate 0.01% - 0.05%

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Anti-oxidation

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).

hydroxydecyl ubiquinone 0.01% - 0.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

pyridoxine hcl 0.05% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Might help neutralize free radicals in skin

sodium ascorbyl phosphate 0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
