Works for
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Ethylhexyl palmitate + 8 moreWorks well
“Skin will be silky smooth and moisturised thanks to the serum’s lightweight texture that absorbs quickly and is ideal for layering.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethicone, dimethiconol.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide

“Regenerist Luminous Anti-Ageing Skin Tone Perfecting Serum”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
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.
Evens skin toneNiacinamide, Undecylenoyl phenylalanine + 1 moreWorks well
“It helps to even the look of your skin tone for a clearer appearance, reducing the intensity of hyperpigmentation as well as dark spots.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide, undecylenoyl phenylalanine
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.
