“Super Hydra Aqua Capsule Mask”
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:
arginine, betaine.
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, cholesterol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 3, ceramide np, phytosphingosine
Evens skin toneCeratonia siliqua fruit extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extractNot delivered
“Packed with 70% green tangerine extract, this surprisingly gentle vitamin C serum will help fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation while still hydrating and soothing the skin.”
This product contains ingredients (ceratonia siliqua fruit extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.30% - 0.55%, ceramide np 0.30% - 0.55% and ceramide 3 0.30% - 0.55%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
