“Gold Rescue Cream effortlessly smoothes over the visage, absorbing quickly to deliver intense nourishment to skin.”
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:
dextran, 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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: caprooyl tetrapeptide-3, lanolin, palmitoyl tripeptide-5
Anti-agingCaprooyl tetrapeptide-3, Palmitoyl tripeptide-5 + 3 moreModerate evidence
“A blend of peptides are able to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles to leave skin smooth and radiant.”
This product contains caprooyl tetrapeptide-3, palmitoyl tripeptide-5. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "Omorovicza - Gold Rescue Cream by Omorovicza" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Omorovicza - Gold Rescue Cream by Omorovicza ticks this box. Humectants in this product (dextran and glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (caprooyl tetrapeptide-3, lanolin, beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter and caprylic/capric triglyceride) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- This moisturizer also contains Peptides (caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 0.20% - 0.35% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.15% - 0.30%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
