Evens skin toneNiacinamideStrong evidence
“Licorice A potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory that can help improve skin tone and texture, and help reduce the appearance of discolouration and pigmentation.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-blemishNiacinamideStrong evidence
“Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and multi-talented active addressing almost every skin care concern from acne to UV damage.”
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
Anti-agingNiacinamide, Tocopherol + 1 moreStrong evidence
“This bio-herbal extract consists of amino acids and triterpenoids which act by reducing or inhibiting the production of melanin without causing irritation or redness.Retinol An excellent antioxidant which protects skin against free radical damage which can cause premature ageing.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Theobroma cacao seed butter + 3 moreStrong evidence
“It visibly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, increases skin firmness and smoothness and evens out dark spots and age spots.Vitamin E An antioxidant superhero, Vitamin E helps to smooth scars and protect skin from damaging free radicals, as well as enhancing the protective function of skin and decreasing the appearance of lines, wrinkles and scars by keeping cells hydrated.Vitamin C Known for its brightening properties, Vitamin C stimulates collagen growth, the building block of skin, while clearing scars and marks.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, cocos nucifera oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
ExfoliationRETINOLWeak evidence
“Vitamin A encourages cell turnover, refining skins’ texture and encouraging skin cells to perform as youthful, healthy cells.”
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.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Tocopherol, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 1 moreStrong evidence
This product contains antioxidants (tocopherol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
