Anti-agingCentella asiatica extract, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice + 2 moreMay help
“Built into our skin, collagen is an anti-aging protein that helps to maintain fullness, but this protein slows in production over time due to sun exposure.”
This product contains centella asiatica extract. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
MoisturizingNot advertised by the brand · Panthenol, Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline + 4 moreWorks well
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": yeast extract, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Yeast extract, Decarboxy carnosine hcl + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica extract, decarboxy carnosine hcl, yeast extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
