What does the product description say?

Cactus Pore Ampoule

Source: From product name

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

betaine salicylate 0.15% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Exfoliating acid, a "relative" of salicylic acid

salix alba bark extract 0.45% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. It contains a compound salicin that can theoretically be converted into salicylic acid that, in turn, helps reduce inflammation in skin, but the evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking and the extract is usually not used in a concentration that would enable an exfoliating effect

gluconolactone 0.2% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Contains prickly pear stem extract to provide rich moisture and nutrients to the skin.

Source: Yesstyle

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: hydrolyzed collagen, hydroxyethyl urea.

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: hydrolyzed collagen, caprylyl glycol.

hydroxyethyl urea 0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A derivative of urea, a compound that is naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients

hydrolyzed collagen 0.45% - 1.1%

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

ulmus davidiana root extract 1.6% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant root extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It might have an anti-inflammatory effect and could help neturalize free radicals in skin

Exfoliation

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: betaine salicylate, hydroxyethyl urea.

hydroxyethyl urea 0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A derivative of urea, a compound that is naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients

betaine salicylate 0.15% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Exfoliating acid, a "relative" of salicylic acid

salix alba bark extract 0.45% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Irritation risk:

Works for: Antibacterial, Anti-oxidation, Anti-aging, Anti-blemish, Evens skin tone, Moisturizing

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
