Neutrogena Healthy Skin Radiant Primer + Serum To Even Skin Tone and Texture

MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Glycerin + 6 moreWorks well
“This face serum and primer hybrid comes infused with peptides and pearl pigments, formulated to nourish and even out the look of your skin's tone and texture.”
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, butylene glycol.
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: squalane, butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-1

Anti-agingSide benefit · Palmitoyl tripeptide-1May help
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
