Works for
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Palmitoyl oligopeptide + 25 moreWorks well
“A moisturizing mist with Volufiline and 9 peptides to nourish and add a dewy glow to skin.”
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:
glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
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: hydrolyzed collagen, hydrogenated polyisobutene.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, niacinamide, oligopeptide-32, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Astaxanthin, Juniperus communis fruit extract + 6 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (astaxanthin) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-agingSide benefit the brand mentions · Niacinamide, Adenosine + 11 moreWorks well
“Contains Niacinamide, Adenosine and Astaxanthin for brightening and anti-wrinkle effects.”
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 dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl hexapeptide-8, astaxanthin, copper tripeptide-1, oligopeptide-32, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5.
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.
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Niacinamide, Salix alba bark extractWorks well
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · NiacinamideWorks well
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
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.

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 (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.15% - 0.25%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.25% - 0.45%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.20% - 0.40%, oligopeptide-32 0.20% - 0.35%, copper tripeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.20% - 0.40%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.20% - 0.40% and acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.20% - 0.40%). 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. They 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.
- Adenosine 0.50% - 0.80%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
- Humectants (hydrolyzed collagen 0.25% - 0.45%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.20% - 0.40%, hyaluronic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.40%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate 0.30% - 0.50%, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans 0.35% - 0.60%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.35% - 0.65%, sodium lactate 2.30% - 2.80% and glycerin 4.80% - 5.90%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
