What the product description says

“It provides anti ageing action and prevents the degradation of Hyaluronic Acid.”

Source: Face the future

This product contains dimethylmethoxy chromanol. This ingredient help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they might be able to prevent early signs of aging (like fine lines and wrinkles), at least to some extent. These ingredients will not be able to "reverse" signs of aging.

TocopherolEffect: Low, below effective dosePure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself~0.2–0.8%

Moisturizing

Caprylic/capric triglyceride, Sodium hyaluronate + 10 more

Good evidence

What the product description says

“Combining the powers of Hyaluronic Acid to intensely hydrate skin and an Anti-Hyaluronidase agent to prevent degradation and loss, with Polynucleotides (cellular DNA fractions) to promote reconstruction through enhanced collagen synthesis, the soothing cream promises protective action against environmental pollutants and skin-ageing oxidation.”

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: sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol.

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetearyl alcohol.
