Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "MEDI-PEEL - Vitamin Dr. Body Lotion" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. MEDI-PEEL - Vitamin Dr. Body Lotion ticks this box. Humectants in this product (arginine, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, trehalose and saccharomyces/barley seed ferment filtrate) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns, arginine and caprylic/capric triglyceride) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.25% - 0.45%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide eop 0.25% - 0.50%, ceramide ap 0.25% - 0.45%, ceramide ns 0.25% - 0.50%, ceramide as 0.25% - 0.45% and ceramide np 0.30% - 0.55%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e, niacinamide, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, vitamin c and stearic acid

Irritation risk

There are quite a few common irritants in this product, including ingredients without particular skin benefits. We would not recommend it for sensitive skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

What does the product description say?

Vitamin Dr. Body Lotion Body Lotion

Source: From product name

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.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide as, ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns

glycerin 2.4% - 2.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

arginine 0.3% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin

sodium hyaluronate 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

Anti-aging

This product contains folic acid. 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.

folic acid 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Can help stimulate collagen production in skin. While available studies are promising, more research is needed to confirm the efficacy in skin

niacinamide 0.25% - 0.45%

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

ascorbic acid 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging

Evens skin tone

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: pancratium maritimum extract.

pancratium maritimum extract 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. It might help reduce hyperpigmentation

lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extract 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An enzyme-based exfoliant

niacinamide 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (pyridoxine, saccharomyces/barley seed ferment filtrate) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

saccharomyces/barley seed ferment filtrate 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A yeast extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and can help attract water to its upper layers

pyridoxine 0.25% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might help neutralize free radicals in skin, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking. It might be irritating

pancratium maritimum extract 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. It might help reduce hyperpigmentation
