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: aminobutyric acid, arginine.

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: arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

aminobutyric acid 0.2% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Has been shown to support wound healing and skin barrier function when used topically in rats. Is likely to be effective in supporting skin's hydration and barrier function, but research for human skin is missing. Might have some anti-aging properties but the research is missing

arginine 0.85% - 1.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin

bacillus ferment 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A product of bacterial fermentation. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - aminobutyric acid - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

aminobutyric acid 0.2% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

alaria esculenta extract 0.35% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Works as a humectant helping to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might be effective as an anti-oxidant.
