MoisturizingRicinus communis seed oil, Glycerin + 5 moreWorks
“Soften appearance of wrinkles .”
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.
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: ricinus communis seed oil, argania spinosa kernel oil.
Evens skin toneRetinyl palmitateMay help
“Enriched with grapeseed oil and Alpha Hydroxy Acid, to hydrate and even the skin tone while you sleep.”

Anti-blemishRetinyl palmitateNot delivered
“Grapeseed Oil acts as a light moisturiser without clogging pores .”

Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ficus carica fruit extract, Argania spinosa kernel oil + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (ficus carica fruit 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.

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect

Ingredient callouts
- this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 1.20% - 1.80%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
- Humectants (glycerin 4.10% - 6.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
