“Formulated for mature and menopausal skin, this fortifying oil-serum restores density, bounce and glow while visibly lifting and smoothing for renewed, re-sculpted contours.”
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, hydrolyzed yeast extract.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Evens skin toneGlycyrrhiza glabra root extract, Hydrolyzed yeast extractNot delivered
“Amber microalgae helps improve the look of uneven tone and age spots, bringing renewed luminosity to skin.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root 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.
Anti-agingTocopherolNot delivered
“It visibly lifts, firms and re-sculpts facial contours, restoring the elasticity and dermal thickness that hold a face's definition.”
