MoisturizingPrunus armeniaca kernel oil, Butyrospermum parkii butter extract + 4 moreWorks
“All Embracing Serum pairs Watermelon Seed Oil and Hibiscus for long-lasting hydration and a bright, fresh 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:
avena sativa kernel flour.
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 extract, avena sativa kernel flour.
Anti-agingTocopherolMay help
“Bursting with Vitamins A, B, E and minerals, it addresses the first signs of aging and restores a youthful glow.”
This product contains tocopherol. This ingredient help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they might be able to prevent early signs of aging (like fine lines and wrinkles), at least to some extent. These ingredients will not be able to "reverse" signs of aging.
Anti-blemishRosmarinus officinalis leaf extractNot delivered
“The rich concentration of Linoleic Acid helps to balance sebum, preventing clogged pores.”
This product contains ingredients (rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Packed with antioxidants and mild natural acids, it provides a gentle exfoliation while promoting the appearance of firmness and resiliency.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tocopherol, Prunus armeniaca kernel oil + 4 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (tocopherol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
