What the product description says
“Witness visible reductions in fine lines and wrinkles while unlocking unparalleled hydration and a radiant glow.”
Source: NANNETTE de GASPÉ

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: arginine, 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: arginine, butyrospermum parkii butter.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ng, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, tetrapeptide-14

Product summary

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging and Anti-blemish, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • Ceramides (ceramide ng 0.55% - 0.80%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
  • Peptides (n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 0.45% - 0.65% and tetrapeptide-14 0.45% - 0.65%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
  • Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 0.70%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.45% - 0.70%, arginine 0.45% - 0.70% and glycerin 0.95% - 1.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
