Works for
Anti-agingCentella asiatica extract, TocopherolMay help
“Working to leave behind a more natural-looking radiance, you’ll benefit from an enviable glow while the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is diminished.”
This product contains centella asiatica extract. This ingredient 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.
MoisturizingGlycine soja oil, Helianthus annuus seed oil + 7 moreWorks
“Our bestselling moisturising night cream replenishes dry skin overnight to keep it soft, supple and beautifully smooth.”
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:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, glycine soja oil.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Centella asiatica extract, Rosa canina fruit oil + 3 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica 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.
