Adenosine 0.40% - 1.00%. 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 (saccharomyces ferment filtrate 0.10% - 0.35%, alanine 0.10% - 0.40%, histidine 0.10% - 0.40%, aspartic acid 0.15% - 0.55%, glutamic acid 0.15% - 0.60%, glycine 0.15% - 0.55%, arginine 1.00% - 1.50%, trehalose 1.60% - 2.50% and glycerin 3.20% - 4.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What can the product work for?

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Give dull skin a radiance boost with exfoliating LHA and PHA.

Source: Soko Glam

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: capryloyl salicylic acid.

capryloyl salicylic acid 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

gluconolactone 0.1% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals

allantoin 0.15% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

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

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Mediheal's proprietary patented HYDRODEEPERTM complex with essential moisturizing factors helps improve hydration and maintain a healthy skin barrier. Developed for all skin types. Cruelty free.

Source: Soko Glam

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.

glutamic acid 0.15% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An amino-acid that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin

glycine 0.15% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help restore the skin barrier function

histidine 0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Anti-aging

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

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: aspartic acid, serine, threonine.

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.

adenosine 0.4% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)

aspartic acid 0.15% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An amino-acid that helps increase skin hydration and might help to slightly improve skin firmness, potentially reducing lines and wrinkles

serine 0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

Evens skin tone

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: alanine, capryloyl salicylic acid.

capryloyl salicylic acid 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

alanine 0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help to lighten the skin, but solid evidence is lacking

gluconolactone 0.1% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!
