Works for
MoisturizingAcetyl tetrapeptide-5, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 11 moreWorks well
“Hyaluronic Acid Exceptionally hydrating and responsible for providing plumpness and volume to the 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:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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: squalane, cetearyl alcohol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-5, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7
Anti-agingAcetyl tetrapeptide-5, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 4 moreMay help
“Squalane Provides nourishment to surface skin cells, minimises fine lines, and reduces discolouration.”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-5, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. 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.
Evens skin toneNot advertised by the brand · Undecylenoyl phenylalanine, Emblica officinalis fruit extract + 3 moreWorks well
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: undecylenoyl phenylalanine
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: emblica officinalis fruit 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.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Emblica officinalis fruit extract, Hesperidin methyl chalcone + 3 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (emblica officinalis fruit extract) 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.

Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (dipeptide-2 0.40% - 0.95%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.50% - 1.20% and acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.80% - 1.20%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (glycerin 0.15% - 0.55%, sodium hyaluronate 0.30% - 0.75% and acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.80% - 1.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
