WIMJ summary

This product contains ingredients (punica granatum extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
punica granatum extract	LOW
camellia sinensis leaf extract	LOW

WIMJ summary

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": lactobacillus ferment, sodium hyaluronate.

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).

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
lactobacillus ferment	HIGH
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH
aloe barbadensis leaf juice	LOW

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract, punica granatum 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.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	23% - 34%
rosa damascena flower water Used to add a nice rose smell to the product. Can be irritating	6.3% - 9.5%
helichrysum italicum flower water	4.5% - 6.7%
lactobacillus ferment A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus. The fermented product has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can be used as a preservative	3.5% - 5.2%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	2.7% - 4%
punica granatum extract A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and even out the skin tone, but is typically used in products in a concentration that is too low to be effective	1.8% - 2.7%
caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes	1.4% - 2.1%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
tamarindus indica seed extract	1.5% - 2.2%
vaccinium myrtillus leaf extract	0.85% - 1.3%
cucumis sativus fruit extract Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect	0.45% - 1.05%
propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	0.35% - 0.85%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.55%
hydroxyethylcellulose Used to thicken product formulations and create gel-like textures	0.15% - 0.6%
melia azadirachta flower extract A plant extract that might be helpful to neutralize free radicals in skin	0.1% - 0.45%
