Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Squalane + 9 moreWorks
“Squalane - found naturally in the skin it is the skin’s principal lipid, natural emollient, built-in moisturiser and skin antioxidant.”
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:
cyclomethicone, glycerin.
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: beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
Evens skin toneArbutin, Ascorbic acidMay help
“Face Renew is a potent proprietary blend of skin renewing and soothing natural ingredients rapidly helping to reduce redness and skin pigmentation also helping instantly skin recover from late nights and over time provides a more even skin tone.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: arbutin.
Anti-agingAscorbic acidNot delivered
“Younger looking skin becomes more resilient to daily aggressors like pollution”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient arbutin might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Arbutin, Zanthoxylum piperitum fruit extract + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (arbutin) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.

Product summary
"mirenesse - Fast Fix Face Renew Express Skin Recovery Serum" could be helpful for: Evens skin tone and 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 (0.10% - 0.45%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.45%, glycerin 4.10% - 6.20% and cyclomethicone 1.10% - 1.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Price
