Anti-oxidationCamellia sinensis leaf extract, Kojic acid + 5 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (kojic acid, ubiquinone) 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 - camellia sinensis leaf extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
Evens skin toneKojic acid, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 1 moreWorks well
“Kojic Acid helps control melanin production and prevents hyperpigmentation.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: kojic acid
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.
MoisturizingCyclopentasiloxane, Glycosaminoglycans + 9 moreWorks
“and fine lines and wrinkles by combating the underlying cause of darkening and aging.”
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:
sodium chondroitin sulfate, 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: glycosaminoglycans, cyclopentasiloxane.
Anti-agingCamellia sinensis leaf extract, Beta-glucan + 3 moreMay help
“Power K Eye Rescue Eye Treatment for Dark Circles-Fine Lines”
This product contains kojic acid, ubiquinone. These ingredients help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they might be able to prevent early signs of aging (like fine lines and wrinkles), at least to some extent. These ingredients will not be able to "reverse" signs of aging.
