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 (arginine 0.45% - 0.70%, sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 0.70%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 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.

This product contains n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, tetrapeptide-14. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 0.45% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

tetrapeptide-14 0.45% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

butyrospermum parkii butter 6.3% - 7.7%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

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

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

arginine 0.45% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

butyrospermum parkii butter 6.3% - 7.7%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

dimethicone 0.55% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish

Anti-blemish

This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains ethyl linoleate.

ethyl linoleate 0.5% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps reduce acne and blemishes. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce inflammation. Might be helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and evening out the skin tone, but evidence of effectiveness in skin are lacking

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.5% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

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

rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract 0.1% - 0.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin, including inflamed acne. It can be irritating

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract, hexylresorcinol) 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.

hexylresorcinol 0.5% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might be helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals in skin

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.5% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

butyrospermum parkii butter 6.3% - 7.7%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW
