What does the product description say?

Auto Pilot Hydra-Vault Primer

Source: From product name

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: galactoarabinan, 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: dimethicone, hydrolyzed collagen.

glycerin 4.2% - 5.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and provide a longer-lasting hydration. Can create a thicker product consistency

hydrolyzed collagen 0.4% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

Anti-aging

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A vitamin C derivative. Studies show that is might be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation, but there are no studies confirming that it is effectively converted into the bioavailable form of Vitamin C in skin. It is not clear how this derivative compares in effectiveness to the topical application of bioavailable form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
