What does the product description say?

"Skin is left balanced, more even and nourished."

Bluemercury

WIMJ summary for evens skin tone

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: alanine, arbutin, glycyrrhiza uralensis root extract.

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

Promise

What does the product description say?

"Hyaluronic Acid acts like a sponge to attract and retain moisture in the skin leaving the complexion plump and hydrated."

Bluemercury

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

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, allantoin.

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, glyceryl caprylate.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
threonine	HIGH
allantoin	HIGH
saccharide isomerate	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-aging

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

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: adenosine triphosphate, 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.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
niacinamide	HIGH
adenosine triphosphate	MEDIUM
aspartic acid	MEDIUM

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (arbutin, camellia sinensis leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
arbutin	MEDIUM
camellia sinensis leaf extract	MEDIUM
ascorbyl glucoside	MEDIUM

aloe barbadensis leaf juice

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	6.3% - 7.7%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	4.1% - 5%
dipropylene glycol Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying	2.8% - 3.5%
propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	2.2% - 2.7%
glycyrrhiza uralensis root extract Licorice root extract. Might be helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation	1.8% - 2.2%
saccharide isomerate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	1.5% - 1.8%
niacinamide Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture	1.3% - 1.6%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	1% - 1.3%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	0.7% - 1.05%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.55% - 0.85%
hydroxyacetophenone Used to increase effectiveness of preservatives	0.5% - 0.7%
sodium pca Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer	0.45% - 0.65%
sodium lactate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product	0.4% - 0.6%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.35% - 0.6%
dipotassium glycyrrhizate A salt derived from licorice. Works as an emollient to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help calm down inflammation. Might be helpful for skin lightening	0.3% - 0.6%
simmondsia chinensis seed oil Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.	0.4% - 0.65%
arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin	0.25% - 0.5%
polyglyceryl-4 caprate	0.3% - 0.55%
ppg-33-buteth-45	0.25% - 0.45%
aspartic acid An amino-acid that helps increase skin hydration and might help to slightly improve skin firmness, potentially reducing lines and wrinkles	0.2% - 0.4%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	0.2% - 0.35%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.2% - 0.4%
pca Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer	0.2% - 0.4%
glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products	0.25% - 0.45%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.2% - 0.4%
acetyl tyrosine	0.2% - 0.35%
glycine Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help restore the skin barrier function	0.2% - 0.4%
alanine 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	0.2% - 0.4%
proline	0.25% - 0.4%
serine 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	0.2% - 0.4%
valine	0.2% - 0.4%
arbutin Beta-arbutin. Can help to reduce hyperpigmentation and has an anti-oxidant effect when used in high enough concentration. Is less effective compared to alpha-arbutin	0.2% - 0.4%
ascorbyl glucoside A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products	0.2% - 0.35%
menthyl lactate Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating	0.2% - 0.35%
isoleucine An amino acid that can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and support skin's barrier function	0.2% - 0.35%
threonine 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	0.15% - 0.3%
adenosine triphosphate	0.15% - 0.25%
hydrolyzed vegetable protein	0.1% - 0.2%
o-cymen-5-ol A preservative	0.05% - 0.1%
histidine	0.1% - 0.15%
phenylalanine	0.1% - 0.15%
