no:hj Korean Aesthetic Vitamin Tree Lux Cream

"no: hj - Korean Aesthetic Vitamin Tree Lux Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. No: hj - Korean Aesthetic Vitamin Tree Lux Cream ticks this box. Acetyl hexapeptide-8, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, aloe barbadensis extract and caprylyl glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil, cetearyl alcohol and cyclopentasiloxane in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

• This moisturizer also contains Peptides (saccharomyces polypeptides 0.10% - 0.20%, tripeptide-29 0.15% - 0.25%, copper tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.25%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.20% - 0.35% and dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.20% - 0.35%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
