Works well
What the product description says
“Reduces the appearance of all signs of aging”
Source: NeoGenesis

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains human fibroblast conditioned media.

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.

Human fibroblast conditioned mediaKey activeEffect: HighA cocktail of amino acids that can stimulate skin cell growth and renewal having an anti-aging effect~5.7–6.9%
Lactic acidUnder-dosedAn exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)~0.1–0.2%

What the product description says
“Provides soothing hydration to the skin”
Source: NeoGenesis

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The humectants (hydrolyzed rice protein, hydrolyzed wheat protein) can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks emollients that can reduce the moisture loss over time. You might want to use a separate product emollients and occlusives like dimethicone, oils, or butters on top.
