What the product description says
“Hectorite Clay draws out impurities and hydrates the skin.”
Source: Omorovicza

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, soy amino acids.

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).

This product contains ingredients (yeast 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.

What the product description says
“Marine Exopolysaccharides, derived from plankton, plump fine lines and tighten collagen fibres, providing an immediate lifting effect.”
Source: Omorovicza

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.

This ingredient yeast extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

Exfoliation
No ingredient credited for this claim

What the product description says
“Plankton extract re-ignites your skin's natural firming and lifting powers, while amino acids gently exfoliate, for a brighter, smoother complexion.”
Source: Omorovicza

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

May help

This product contains antioxidants (yeast 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.
