MoisturizingHyaluronic acid, Squalene + 6 moreWorks
“Moisturizing and hydrating your 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:
glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
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: squalene.
Anti-agingHyaluronic acid, Beta-glucan + 3 moreMay help
“Anti-Aging Diminish Wrinkle Diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles.”
This product contains tocopherol, ubiquinone. These ingredients help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they might be able to prevent early signs of aging (like fine lines and wrinkles), at least to some extent. These ingredients will not be able to "reverse" signs of aging.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Squalene, Ubiquinone + 4 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (tocopherol, ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - arbutin, squalene also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
