Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
restoring youthful elasticity to skin
Source: Murad
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains retinal.
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.
One step removed from the biologically active in skin form of vitamin A. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinal is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. Concentrations of 0.05% and 0.1% are shown to be effective. It can, however, be irritating
A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
Pure 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
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
AWARD WINNER: Best New Bodycare Product | Telegraph Beauty Awards 2025 A firming & moisturising body cream that dramatically smooths, tones and lifts in just 4 weeks. It targets cellulite, stretch marks, sagging skin and lines & wrinkles while restoring youthful elasticity to skin. Think of it like a ‘workout in a jar’ – just as it shapes your body, this formula specifically boosts skin metabolism and fat burn, tricking your skin into thinking it had a workout. This advanced formula has been enriched with result-driven ingredients to mimic the benefits of exercise and fat burning. Encapsulated Retinal —one of the most effective forms of vitamin A, stimulates collagen production and cell turnover to firm and lift the skin. Exerkine-inspired complex (molecules naturally released during exercise) enhances metabolism and fat burning. Milk Thistle delivers strong antioxidant protection to help defend skin cells from ageing, smoothing skin texture. Bearberry Extract helps tone & brighten. Shea butter, avocado extract, and Squalane provide intense hydration and lock in moisture. Lifts and tightens body skin in 4 weeks Firms and smooths deep-set body wrinkles in 4 weeks Reduces the look of stretch marks in 8 weeks “I’ve tried a few products for cellulite over the years and this is the first that seems to make a difference. I’ve been testing it out for the past 4 weeks, focusing on my abdomen area – covered in stretch marks after three pregnancies – and my thighs. The skin texture and quality already looks better.” – Sonia Haria, The Telegraph Beauty Director

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
moisturising body cream

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:
betaine, 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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea
