Moisturizing

Acetyl hexapeptide-8, Tripeptide-1 + 26 more

Works well

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, hyaluronic acid.

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: chondrus crispus extract, caprylyl glycol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-11, hexapeptide-9, linoleic acid, niacinamide, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, panthenol, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-29

Anti-aging

Acetyl hexapeptide-8, Tripeptide-1 + 13 more

Works well

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

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, folic acid, hexapeptide-11, hexapeptide-9, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, 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.

Sodium ascorbyl phosphateEffect: Low, below effective doseA 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~0.65–1%

Evens skin tone

Side benefit · Niacinamide

Works well

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

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.

Ingredient callouts

Peptides (hexapeptide-11 1.00% - 1.20%, nonapeptide-1 1.10% - 1.30%, hexapeptide-9 1.40% - 1.70%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 2.00% - 2.40%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 2.70% - 3.30%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 3.60% - 4.40%, tripeptide-29 4.50% - 5.50%, tripeptide-1 5.50% - 6.70%, copper tripeptide-1 3.90% - 4.70% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 26.00% - 32.00%). 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.
We love that there is also Linoleic Acid in this product (0.50% - 0.80%). Linoleic Acid is one of the skin's natural emollients. It supports the skin barrier and can even help reduce clogged pores.
Humectants (panthenol 5.00% (declared), sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.45% - 0.70%, hyaluronic acid 0.50% - 0.75%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.50% - 0.75%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.60% - 0.90%, glycerin 0.70% - 1.05%, sodium hyaluronate 0.75% - 1.10%, hexapeptide-9 1.40% - 1.70% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 26.00% - 32.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
