Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Sesamum indicum seed oil + 3 moreWorks
“The clean, non-drying formula works to neutralize surface impurities and eliminate excess oil while working to support the skin’s natural moisture barrier.”
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.
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: sesamum indicum seed oil.
Anti-agingResveratrol, Magnesium aluminum silicate + 2 moreMay help
“The use of Organic Red Algae, Red Wine and Red and Pink French Clay may help to improve dull complexions, can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, and reinforce the look and feel of youthful firmness.”
This product contains resveratrol. 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.
Anti-blemishNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“This purifying mask decongests blemished skin and shrinks pores for a visibly refined complexion.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Resveratrol, Camellia sinensis extract + 3 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (resveratrol) 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 - camellia sinensis extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
