Product Summary
"OleHenriksen - Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer" is effective for: Anti-blemish, Evens skin tone, Anti-aging and Moisturizing
Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.35% - 0.65%, ceramide eop 0.35% - 0.60%, ceramide ap 0.30% - 0.60% and ceramide np 0.45% - 0.65%). 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.
- Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.50% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.50% - 0.75%, acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.50% - 0.75%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.50% - 0.75%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.55% - 0.85%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.65% - 1.00% and acetyl hexapeptide-1 0.90% - 1.10%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (xylitylglucoside 0.30% - 0.55%, sodium pca 0.30% - 0.55%, sodium lactate 0.30% - 0.55%, pca 0.30% - 0.55%, panthenol 0.30% - 0.55%, betaine 0.30% - 0.55%, anhydroxylitol 0.30% - 0.55%, sodium hyaluronate 0.30% - 0.55%, hyaluronic acid 0.30% - 0.55%, arginine 0.30% - 0.55%, glutamic acid 0.30% - 0.55%, glycine 0.25% - 0.45%, alanine 0.25% - 0.45%, carnosine 0.40% - 0.65%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.55% - 0.85%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.65% - 1.00% and glycerin 3.00% - 3.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
A daily moisturizer, packed with peptides, collagen and hyaluronic acid, that’s clinically tested to instantly double hydration, boost elasticity and improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles, while also reinforcing your moisture barrier.
Source: Ole henriksen
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
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, carnosine, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, serine, threonine.
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.
Is 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

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

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer
Source: From product name
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:
alanine, anhydroxylitol.
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: arginine, dimethicone.
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, ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, niacinamide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, panthenol, phytosphingosine
