What does the product description say?

"Formulated with plant-based collagen it helps to visibly plump the skin and reduce signs of ageing."

SpaceNK

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains acetyl glucosamine, niacinamide.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: ascorbyl glucoside, epigallocatechin gallate.

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.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
acetyl glucosamine	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: acetyl glucosamine, niacinamide

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: ascorbyl glucoside, epigallocatechin gallate, glycyrrhiza glabra root extract.

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.

WIMJ summary

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": allantoin, glycerin.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl glucosamine, niacinamide, panthenol

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
acetyl glucosamine	HIGH
allantoin	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (ascorbyl glucoside, camellia japonica flower extract, epigallocatechin gallate) 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.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
niacinamide Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture	4.9% - 7.3%
pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture	3.7% - 5.6%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	2.7% - 4%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	2.1% - 3.2%
acetyl glucosamine An effective moisturizing ingredient that also has been shown to be effective in evening out the skin tone and reducing hyperpigmentation. It can help somewhat reduce wrinkles in skin	1.6% - 2.5%
ascorbyl glucoside A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products	1.5% - 2.2%
glycyrrhiza glabra root extract A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals	1.1% - 1.6%
spiraea ulmaria extract	0.95% - 1.4%
portulaca oleracea extract A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant activity, but solid research is lacking. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.85% - 1.25%
camellia japonica flower extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin	0.55% - 1.25%
epigallocatechin gallate A polyphenol found in tea. This particular compound abbreviated EGCG is the most powerful antioxidant among those extracted from tea (usually green tea). Unfortunately, EGCG is unstable, requires a low pH (below 4) to prevent quick degradation, and does not penetrate the skin very well. This is why the full anti-oxidant effect of EGCG is typically not realized when it is added to topical skincare	0.4% - 1%
boerhavia diffusa root extract A plant extract that might help reduce inflammation and neutralize free radicals	0.4% - 0.9%
camellia sinensis leaf extract 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	0.35% - 0.85%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	0.3% - 0.7%
lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.3% - 0.75%
pullulan Creates a thin drying film on the skin resulting in a short-term tightening effect	0.15% - 0.6%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.15% - 0.5%
silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin	0.2% - 0.7%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.1% - 0.4%
sclerotium gum Used to create gel-like formulas and stabilize emulsions	0.1% - 0.3%
propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	0.1% - 0.3%
sodium phytate Used to stabilize product formulations	0.05% - 0.2%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.05% - 0.2%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.01% - 0.1%
