What the product description says

“Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid that replenishes and locks moisture within deep skin layers.”

Source: Lila Beauty

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: alanine, arginine.

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, hydrolyzed collagen.

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, copper tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-9, niacinamide, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, tripeptide-1

NiacinamideHeroEffect: HighIs 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~3–3.7%

What the product description says

“Infused with Ectoine to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.”

Source: Lila Beauty

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine, niacinamide.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, aspartic acid, astaxanthin, copper tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-9, lysine, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, serine, threonine, tripeptide-1.

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.

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.

Ingredient callouts

A good concentration of Niacinamide (3.00% - 3.70%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
Peptides (nonapeptide-1 0.10% - 0.20%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.20%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.10% - 0.20%, copper tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.25%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.10% - 0.25%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30%, tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.10% - 0.20% and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.15% - 0.30%). 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.
Adenosine 0.45% - 0.65%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
Humectants (hyaluronic acid 0.10% - 0.20%, lactobacillus ferment 0.10% - 0.20%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.25%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.10% - 0.20%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.10% - 0.20%, histidine 0.10% - 0.20%, alanine 0.10% - 0.20%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.10% - 0.20%, aspartic acid 0.10% - 0.20%, glutamic acid 0.10% - 0.20%, glycine 0.10% - 0.20%, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.10% - 0.20%, hydrolyzed collagen 0.25% - 0.45%, arginine 1.30% - 1.60%, betaine 2.20% - 2.70% and glycerin 4.60% - 5.70%).
