Works for
Anti-agingAcetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, Palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 + 5 moreWorks well
“Contributing to the increase and strengthening of elastin on slackened skin, the serum targets neck lines and sagging to help improve elasticity and density, both on and below the skin's surface.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains palmitoyl hexapeptide-12.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl cyclohexapeptide-34, acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2.
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.
MoisturizingAcetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, Trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2 + 17 moreWorks well
“Boasting a powerful lineup of ingredients and technologies, the NIOD Neck Elasticity Catalyst 100ml helps to hydrate and visibly plump the skin for a firmer-looking finish.”
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:
dextran, glycerin.
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: hippophae rhamnoides oil, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl cyclohexapeptide-34, acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2, urea
Evens skin toneNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“This counter-intuitive approach enhances visible tone by increasing and decreasing fluid motion simultaneously; this 'push-pull' action improves skin density and surface evenness because the fluids are distributed more evenly.”
