MoisturizingPanthenol, Copper tripeptide-1 + 17 moreWorks well
“Improves skin elasticity and firmness Boosts skin moisture levels and also resilience of skin Contains Avocado and Parsley that is rich in chlorophyll to promote healthier 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:
arginine, biosaccharide gum-1.
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: arginine, persea gratissima fruit extract.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, panthenol
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Copper tripeptide-1 + 1 moreMay help
“Improves skin elasticity and firmness Boosts skin moisture levels and also resilience of skin Contains Avocado and Parsley that is rich in chlorophyll to promote healthier skin”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-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.

A naturally occurring peptide. One of the most studied peptides in dermatology. It is sometimes abbreviated GHK-Cu. Belongs to the class of carrier peptides. It stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of collagen in skin. It is released in skin wounds and inflammation to support healing. It accelerates wound-healing of the skin and can stimulate hair growth. There are preliminary studies that confirm that copper tripeptide can help support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles and decrease inflammation in skin.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (copper tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.25% - 0.50%). 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.
- Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 1.60% - 2.00% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
- Humectants (glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.25% - 0.45%, biosaccharide gum-1 0.25% - 0.50%, arginine 0.25% - 0.45%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.25% - 0.50%, sodium hyaluronate 1.40% - 1.70%, panthenol 1.60% - 2.00%, trehalose 3.20% - 3.90% and glycerin 4.40% - 5.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
