What the product description says

“Helps brighten dark circles and improve hyperpigmentation with Niacinamide and Ceramide”

Source: Lila Beauty

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: retinol.

In addition, this product contains niacinamide. This ingredient (ingredients) might help reduce hyperpigmentation, but the effect, if any, is likely to be small.

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: resveratrol.

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

RetinolHeroEffect: HighTwo steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinol is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. It can, however, be quite irritating~0.15–0.25%

NiacinamideKey activeEffect: HighIs proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production~1.8–2.2%

ResveratrolEffect: LowHelps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as even out the skin tone~0.15–0.3%

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains retinol, adenosine, niacinamide, 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, arginine/lysine polypeptide, biotinoyl tripeptide-1, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, dipeptide-2, dipeptide-4, hexapeptide-11, hexapeptide-9, 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, resveratrol, sh-decapeptide-7, sh-octapeptide-4, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-16, sh-polypeptide-22, sh-polypeptide-3, sh-polypeptide-9, tetrapeptide-30, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline, tripeptide-29.

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 “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

What the product description says

“Enriched with NAD+ to strengthen skin barrier for preventing skin from breakdown and dehydration.”

Source: Lila Beauty

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, hyaluronic acid.

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: butyrospermum parkii butter, cocos nucifera oil.

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-2, dipeptide-4, hexapeptide-11, hexapeptide-9, myristoyl pentapeptide-17, niacinamide, nonapeptide-1, oligopeptide-32, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, palmitoyl tripeptide-8, sh-decapeptide-7, sh-octapeptide-4, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-22, sh-polypeptide-3, sh-polypeptide-9, tetrapeptide-30, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline, tripeptide-29

Exfoliation

Side benefit · Retinol

Works well

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: retinol.

RetinolKey activeEffect: HighTwo steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinol is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. It can, however, be quite irritating~0.15–0.25%

Ingredient callouts

We particularly like that there is a good concentration of Niacinamide (1.80% - 2.20%) in this moisturizer. Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is a great ingredient to have in a moisturizer. 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 help improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
This moisturizer contains an effective form of Retinoids (vitamin A): retinol 0.15% - 0.25%. Retinoids are potent multitasking actives. They work to improve and prevent early signs of aging, reduce hyperpigmentation (age spots and post-acne marks), and prevent inflamed blemishes and clogged pores. The downside of Retinoids is that they can be irritating. If you are not already using a Retinoid in your routine, it is best to start slowly and apply the Retinoid product only a few times per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase the frequency to daily. Because of the irritation risk of Retinoids, we recommend to have another, retinoid-free moisturizer in your routine to use on the alternate days or when your skin feels dry.
Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide np 0.20% - 0.35%). 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.
This moisturizer also contains Peptides (tripeptide-29 0.10% - 0.20%, tripeptide-10 citrulline 0.10% - 0.20%, tripeptide-1 0.20% - 0.35%, tetrapeptide-30 0.15% - 0.30%, sh-polypeptide-22 0.20% - 0.35%, sh-polypeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-oligopeptide-2 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-octapeptide-4 0.25% - 0.45%, sh-decapeptide-7 0.25% - 0.40%, palmitoyl tripeptide-8 0.25% - 0.40%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.20% - 0.40%, palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.20% - 0.40%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.20% - 0.40%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.25% - 0.40%, oligopeptide-32 0.20% - 0.40%, nonapeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40%, myristoyl pentapeptide-17 0.20% - 0.35%, hexapeptide-9 0.20% - 0.35%, hexapeptide-11 0.20% - 0.35%, dipeptide-4 0.20% - 0.35%, dipeptide-2 0.15% - 0.30%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.15% - 0.30%, copper tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30%, biotinoyl tripeptide-1 0.20% - 0.35%, arginine/lysine polypeptide 0.15% - 0.30%, acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.15% - 0.30%, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 0.20% - 0.35%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.15% - 0.30%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.15% - 0.30%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.30%, acetyl hexapeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30%, acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.15% - 0.30% and acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.15% - 0.30%). 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.
Adenosine 0.15% - 0.30%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
