MoisturizingCopper tripeptide-1, Dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate + 14 moreStrong evidence
“Forms a moisture barrier on the skin while locking in the moisture, leaving your skin supple for a long day.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetearyl alcohol.
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, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, saccharomyces polypeptides, tripeptide-29
Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · Acetyl hexapeptide-8, Copper tripeptide-1 + 3 moreModerate evidence
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, saccharomyces polypeptides, tripeptide-29. These ingredients 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.

A naturally occurring peptide. One of the most studied peptides in dermatology. It is sometimes abbreviated GHK-Cu. Belongs to the class of carrier peptides. It stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of collagen in skin. It is released in skin wounds and inflammation to support healing. It accelerates wound-healing of the skin and can stimulate hair growth. There are preliminary studies that confirm that copper tripeptide can help support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles and decrease inflammation in skin.

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, "no: hj - Home Aesthetic Aqua Bomb Facial Cream XL Jumbo Edition" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. No: hj - Home Aesthetic Aqua Bomb Facial Cream XL Jumbo Edition ticks this box. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, honey extract and aloe barbadensis extract) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetearyl alcohol, cyclopentasiloxane, caprylyl glycol and glyceryl stearate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (saccharomyces polypeptides 0.05% - 0.15%, tripeptide-29 0.05% - 0.20%, copper tripeptide-1 0.05% - 0.30%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.10% - 0.35% and dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.10% - 0.40%). 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. Peptides 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.
