MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 15 moreWorks well
“Helps prevent degradation of collagen; increases hydration to keep skin soft, supple and smooth.”
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:
copper pca, 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: dimethicone, dimethiconol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-2, ceramide 1, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-1
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 3 moreMay help
“Powerful copper peptide preserves and promotes collagen and elastin for improved firmness, elasticity and overall skin health.”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-2, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-1. 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.

Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide 1 0.15% - 0.60%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 1.70% - 2.60%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.50% - 2.20%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.30% - 0.75% and acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.35% - 0.80%). 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 theynare 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.
- We love that there is also Linoleic Acid in this product (0.35% - 0.80%). Linoleic Acid is one of the skin's natural emollients. It supports the skin barrier and can even help reduce clogged pores.
- Humectants (copper pca 0.10% - 0.40% and glycerin 4.20% - 6.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
