Anti-agingAdenosineMay help
“A SILKY, SKIN-SMOOTHING ANTI-AGING SERUM, INSPIRED BY IN-OFFICE TREATMENTS, TO TARGET SAGGING SKIN, WRINKLES, AND AREAS THAT LACK ELASTICITY.”
This product contains adenosine. 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.
ExfoliationSide benefit · Betaine salicylateWorks well
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: betaine salicylate.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Glycerin, Betaine + 9 moreWorks
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:
betaine, glycerin.
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, pentylene glycol.
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Betaine salicylateMay help
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains betaine salicylate.
