Perricone MD PRE:EMPT Refreshing Shower Mask
Works for
MoisturizingMethyl gluceth-20, Dipotassium glycyrrhizate + 7 moreWorks
“Expect a supple, moisturized and rejuvenated complexion with improved texture and tone.”
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:
allantoin, dipotassium glycyrrhizate.
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, caprylyl glycol.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane, Tetrahydrodemethoxydiferuloylmethane + 3 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - tetrahydrobisdemethoxydiferuloylmethane, tetrahydrodemethoxydiferuloylmethane, tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
Anti-agingSide benefit · Epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside, Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane + 2 moreMay help
This product contains epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside. This ingredient 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.
