Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Neogen - AGECURE ONE MINUTE WRINKLE PERFECTION" can work well for skin moisturization. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, hexapeptide-9, alanine, anhydroxylitol and arginine) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, tripeptide-1, cocos nucifera fruit extract and hydrolyzed collagen) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

We particularly like that there is a good concentration of Niacinamide (1.50% - 2.20%) in this moisturizer. Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is a great ingredient to have in a moisturizer. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and help improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.55%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.35%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.10% - 0.45%, arginine/lysine polypeptide 0.15% - 0.55%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.10% - 0.45%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.10% - 0.45%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.15% - 0.60%, tripeptide-29 0.10% - 0.45%, tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.55% and copper tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.45%). 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. Peptides 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 0.50% - 1.15%. 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).
Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - madecassoside 0.10% - 0.50% The Centella Asiatica Actives, even in low concentration, can help reduce inflammation in skin, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce photodamage. They can also help to decrease scarring.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: yeast extract, lecithin, pitera, bifida ferment lysate, vitamin e and sodium ascorbyl phosphate

Irritation risk

This moisturizer contains a bunch of common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide any known benefit for the skin. It might not be the best choice if your skin is sensitive. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Intensive Anti-aging Ampoule Anti-aging + Brightening This intensive anti-aging ampoule is formulated with 10% Argireline Solution C and powerful antioxidant 5% of “Herb EX Resveratrol 0.5”, which help promote collagen production for focused skin-lifting, wrinkle-fighting, skin-tightening benefits.

Source: Neogenlab

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

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, arginine/lysine polypeptide, aspartic acid, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, hexapeptide-9, lysine, madecassoside, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, resveratrol, serine, threonine, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-29.

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 0.5% - 1.15%

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)

niacinamide 1.5% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

tripeptide-29 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Anti-blemish

This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

niacinamide 1.5% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

oenothera biennis oil 0.15% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can support skin barrier function

sodium ascorbyl phosphate 0.15% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C

Evens skin tone

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

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: alanine, cysteine, glycine soja seed extract, glycyrrhiza glabra root extract, madecassoside, resveratrol.

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.

niacinamide 1.5% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

resveratrol 0.15% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as even out the skin tone

alanine 0.15% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help to lighten the skin, but solid evidence is lacking

Moisturizing

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: alanine, anhydroxylitol.

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, dimethicone.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, arginine/lysine polypeptide, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, hexapeptide-9, madecassoside, niacinamide, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-29

saccharomyces ferment filtrate 0.1% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A product of yeast fermentation. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin

serine 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

sesamum indicum seed extract 0.15% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Plant oil that due to its high content of linoleic acid can help support skin's barrier function improving its hydration

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (madecassoside, resveratrol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

The following ingredients - cysteine, ficus carica fruit extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

madecassoside 0.1% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An antioxidant that is typically derived from plant Centella Asiatica. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin and support skin barrier function. It could, however, itself be irritating. It is often unstable in formulations

resveratrol 0.15% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as even out the skin tone

ficus carica fruit extract 0.1% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals. The concentrations typically used in cosmetics are too small to have an effect
