Product summary

"Neogen - Agecure Antiager Facial Top Coat" is effective for: Evens skin tone, Anti-aging and Moisturizing

Ingredient callouts

This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.35% - 0.85%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.35% - 0.80% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.40% - 0.90%). 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.
Adenosine 0.35% - 0.85%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.35% - 0.80% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
Humectants (carnosine 0.35% - 0.75%, saccharide hydrolysate 0.35% - 0.85%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.35% - 0.85%, hyaluronic acid 0.35% - 0.80%, panthenol 0.35% - 0.80%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.35% - 0.80%, sodium hyaluronate 0.35% - 0.80%, glycerin 0.40% - 0.90%, carnosine 0.35% - 0.80%, saccharide hydrolysate 0.35% - 0.80%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.35% - 0.80%, hyaluronic acid 0.35% - 0.85%, panthenol 0.40% - 0.90%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.40% - 0.90%, sodium hyaluronate 0.40% - 0.95% and glycerin 1.50% - 2.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Formulated five network antioxidants and the five anti-glycation complex help to hydrate, improve skin elasticity and texture, leaving the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

Source: Neogenlab

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, carnosine, hydroxydecyl ubiquinone.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

adenosine 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)

hydroxydecyl ubiquinone 0.35% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An analogue of coenzyme Q10 that has a lower molecular weight, which can improve its ability to penetrate the skin. It helps neutralize free radicals in skin, improves skin hydration and might be helpful agains fine lines and wrinkles. It can be an allergen

acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.4% - 0.9%

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

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

Infused with antioxidants and anti-glycation complex to brighten your skin tone for a radiant-looking complexion.

Source: Yesstyle

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glutathione

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

glutathione 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A peptide that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and reduce melanin production resulting in skin lightening effect and reduction in hyperpigmentation. It can also help attract moisture to the upper layer of the skin

taurine 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Could be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin, evening out the skin tone and neutralizing free radicals, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness

niacinamide 0.55% - 1.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Formulated five network antioxidants and the five anti-glycation complex help to hydrate, improve skin elasticity and texture, leaving the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

Source: Neogenlab

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: carnosine, 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, dimethiconol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, panthenol

glutathione 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

dimethicone 3% - 4.6%

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

dimethiconol 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that makes products more spreadable and keeps skin smooth. Helps to add gloss to skin and may visually fill in fine lines/wrinkles for short time

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (carnosine, glutathione, hydroxydecyl ubiquinone, thioctic acid, ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

carnosine 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin combatting the sun damage

ubiquinone 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Coenzyme Q10. It helps neutralize free radicals in skin, improves skin hydration and might be helpful agains fine lines and wrinkles. It can be an allergen

hydroxydecyl ubiquinone 0.35% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH
