What the product description says
โ€œEnriched with 50 Peptides and NAD+ to enhance skin elasticity and strengthen skin barrier for plump and healthy skin.โ€
Source: Lila Beauty

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine, niacinamide, octapeptide-2, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl hexapeptide-1, acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, adenosine triphosphate, arginine/lysine polypeptide, biotinoyl tripeptide-1, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, dipeptide-4, hexapeptide-11, hexapeptide-9, myristoyl hexapeptide-16, myristoyl pentapeptide-17, nicotinoyl tripeptide-1, nonapeptide-1, oligopeptide-32, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, palmitoyl tripeptide-8, pisum sativum peptide, resveratrol, sh-decapeptide-7, sh-octapeptide-4, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-22, sh-polypeptide-9, tetrapeptide-30, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline, tripeptide-29, tripeptide-32.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can โ€œeraseโ€ wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Works well

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called โ€œhumectantsโ€:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they โ€œpull inโ€ the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: anhydroxylitol, dextran.

This product also contains ingredients called โ€œocclusivesโ€. 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: helianthus annuus seed oil, hydrolyzed collagen.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl hexapeptide-1, acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, acetyl tetrapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, arginine/lysine polypeptide, biotinoyl tripeptide-1, ceramide np, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, dipeptide-4, hexapeptide-11, hexapeptide-9, myristoyl hexapeptide-16, myristoyl pentapeptide-17, niacinamide, nonapeptide-1, octapeptide-2, oligopeptide-32, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, palmitoyl tripeptide-8, pisum sativum peptide, sh-decapeptide-7, sh-octapeptide-4, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-22, sh-polypeptide-9, tetrapeptide-30, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline, tripeptide-29, tripeptide-32

A lab-made copy of human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a protein that tells skin cells to multiply. It speeds up wound healing as a prescription drug, but it is too large to pass through intact skin easily, and there is no good evidence it reduces wrinkles in skincare.

Ingredient callouts

  • A good concentration of Niacinamide (4.20% - 5.10%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
  • Ceramides (ceramide np 0.30% - 0.60%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
  • Peptides (sh-polypeptide-11 0.15% - 0.25%, sh-oligopeptide-2 0.15% - 0.25%, sh-polypeptide-9 0.15% - 0.25%, sh-polypeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.20% - 0.35%, sh-polypeptide-22 0.20% - 0.40%, tripeptide-29 0.20% - 0.40%, tripeptide-32 0.25% - 0.45%, tripeptide-10 citrulline 0.25% - 0.45%, tetrapeptide-30 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tripeptide-8 0.30% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.30% - 0.50%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.30% - 0.55%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.30% - 0.50%, octapeptide-2 0.30% - 0.50%, myristoyl hexapeptide-16 0.30% - 0.50%, myristoyl pentapeptide-17 0.30% - 0.50%, hexapeptide-11 0.30% - 0.50%, dipeptide-4 0.30% - 0.50%, biotinoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.55%, acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.30% - 0.55%, acetyl hexapeptide-1 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.30% - 0.55%, oligopeptide-32 0.30% - 0.50%, arginine/lysine polypeptide 0.30% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.60%, tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.55%, nonapeptide-1 0.30% - 0.50%, hexapeptide-9 0.30% - 0.50%, copper tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.60%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.30% - 0.50%, sh-decapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.55%, sh-octapeptide-4 0.30% - 0.55%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 0.30% - 0.55%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.30% - 0.50% and pisum sativum peptide 0.30% - 0.55%). 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. They 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.
  • Adenosine 0.30% - 0.50%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
  • Humectants (acetyl octapeptide-3 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.30% - 0.55%, hexapeptide-9 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.30% - 0.50%, soluble collagen 0.30% - 0.55%, dextran 0.30% - 0.55%, hydrolyzed collagen 0.30% - 0.60%, glycerin 0.65% - 0.95%, anhydroxylitol 0.70% - 1.05%, xylitylglucoside 1.10% - 1.40% and glyceryl glucoside 1.40% - 1.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
