Product summary

"PatricksUniversal - AM1 | ANTI-AGING MOISTURISER" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Anhydroxylitol, betaine, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and trehalose in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine, cholesterol and phytosterols in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide eop 0.10% - 0.15%, phytosphingosine 0.20% - 0.40%, ceramide ap 0.20% - 0.35% and ceramide np 0.25% - 0.45%). 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.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, vitamin e and butyrospermum parkii butter

Irritation risk

This formulation includes some common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide a benefit for the skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

AM1 | ANTI-AGING MOISTURISER

Source: From product name

This product contains creatine, tetradecyl aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric urea trifluoroacetate. 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.

creatine 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Can support skin's ability to neutralize free radicals and produce collagen, though further research is needed to confirm effectiveness

tetradecyl aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric urea trifluoroacetate 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A peptide. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, support skin's barrier function and might have some slight anti-aging effect through stimulating skin's own production of hyaluronic acid

tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An anti-oxidant derived from curcumin (naturally present in tumeric). Is a part of the tetrahydrocurcuminoids complex (THC). The complex might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin and possibly help even out the skin tone. Can be irritating

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

AM1 | ANTI-AGING MOISTURISER

Source: From product name

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: anhydroxylitol, betaine.

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, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine

phytosterols 0.3% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Lipids that work as an emollient and can be helpful in repairing skin barrier function

anhydroxylitol 0.3% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrir function

betaine 0.45% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (creatine, tetrahydrobisdemethoxydiferuloylmethane, tetrahydrodemethoxydiferuloylmethane, tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

creatine 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Can support skin's ability to neutralize free radicals and produce collagen, though further research is needed to confirm effectiveness

tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Key Actives

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Works for: Anti-oxidation, Antibacterial, Anti-aging, Evens skin tone, Moisturizing, Anti-blemish

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

tocopherol 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Works for: Anti-oxidation, Anti-inflammatory, Anti-aging, Moisturizing

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
