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: soluble collagen, hydrolyzed soy protein.

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: isopropyl myristate, c13-14 isoparaffin.

isopropyl myristate 3.5% - 4.3%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient that helps soften the skin. Could be comedogenic

soluble collagen 1% - 1.3%

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

hydrolyzed soy protein 1.2% - 1.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might have some anti-aging, anti-oxidant, and skin lightening properties, but solid evidence is missing

Anti-aging
