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, 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, bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane.

Anti-aging
Side benefit · Adenosine, Centella asiatica extract
Works well

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

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.

Product summary

"MEDIHEAL - H. D. P Pore-Stamping Black Mask EX" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory and Anti-aging

This product could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • Adenosine 0.45% - 1.10%. 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).
  • In addition, this product contains Allantoin (2.70% - 4.00%). 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 (arginine 0.10% - 0.35%, sodium hyaluronate 1.40% - 2.10%, trehalose 0.15% - 0.60%, sodium pca 0.40% - 0.95%, glycerin 3.30% - 5.00% and allantoin 2.70% - 4.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Price

The product retails from 2.50A$ up to 20.00A$ in Australia and for 20.89CA$ in Canada.
