Product summary

"MediFlower - Alge-Mask - 9 Types" could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

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 product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.35% - 0.75%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.40% - 2.10%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
Humectants (hydrolyzed collagen 1.00% - 1.50%, sodium hyaluronate 1.30% - 1.90% and allantoin 1.40% - 2.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?

Chlorella Contains Chlorella extract that rejuvenates the skin with moisture, nutrients and helps remove impurities.

Source: Yesstyle

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: allantoin, hydrolyzed collagen.

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, olea europaea fruit extract.

sodium hyaluronate 1.3% - 1.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

allantoin 1.4% - 2.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated

hydrolyzed collagen 1% - 1.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Collagen Contains collagen that helps enhance skin elasticity and nourishes fatigued skin.

Source: Yesstyle

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

ascorbic acid 0.35% - 0.75%

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

niacinamide 0.35% - 0.8%

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

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

Vitamin Consists of Vitamins C and E that nourish the skin with vitality and help brighten up the skin tone.

Source: Yesstyle

This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

glycyrrhiza glabra root extract 1.6% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals

ascorbic acid 0.35% - 0.75%

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

niacinamide 0.35% - 0.8%

Concentration: Insufficient!
