---|---|---|
1 | serum: | The ingredient is not recognized |
2 | aqua | Plain old water |
3 | dimethicone | A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish |
4 | glycerin | One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant |
5 | butylene glycol | Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin |
6 | aluminum starch octenylsuccinate | Used to thicken the product's consistency |
7 | isononyl isononanoate | Forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness |
8 | gluconolactone | A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting inimporved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals |
9 | dimethicone crosspolymer | Used to create a thicker product texture |
10 | cetearyl alcohol | A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture |
11 | ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp copolymer | Increases thickness of a product. Texture enhancer for oil-in-water emulsions |
12 | phenoxyethanol | A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products |
13 | 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid | A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Can help neutralize free radicals and help reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products |
14 | pentylene glycol | Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture |
15 | polysorbate 20 | Helps oil and water mix together |
16 | potassium hydroxide | Used to adjust the pH level of products |

This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect |
