“A nourishing cream that revitalizes and replenishes dry, dull skin with hydration, promoting a healthy-looking complexion.”
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, helianthus annuus seed oil.
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-oxidationSide benefit · Centella asiatica extract, Hydroxydecyl ubiquinone + 4 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (hydroxydecyl ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - centella asiatica extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
Anti-agingSide benefit · Centella asiatica extract, Hydroxydecyl ubiquinone + 5 moreMay help
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, centella asiatica extract, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, hydroxydecyl ubiquinone, 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
"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.
