2 of 2 advertised claims delivered
Anti-agingTocotrienols, Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate + 2 moreModerate evidence
“Aging is not simply the passage of time marked by line and wrinkles.”
This product contains tocotrienols. This ingredient 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.
MoisturizingLactoperoxidase, Sodium hyaluronate + 23 moreGood evidence
“This lightweight hydrating lotion instantly calms skin while visibly reducing redness and sensitivity.”
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:
sodium hyaluronate, glucose.
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: dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Tocotrienols, Squalene + 6 moreStrong evidence
This product contains antioxidants (tocotrienols) 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 - squalene also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
