Ingredient callouts
- This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 6.40% - 9.60% It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production, neutralizing free radicals in skin and improving pigmentation marks. We recommend to use up this product quickly after opening: Ascorbic Acid degrades fast when it gets in contact with air and light. The moment the product turns orange, it is a sign that a significant share of the vitamin C in it is no longer effective.
- Humectants (copper pca 0.60% - 1.35%, glycogen 0.10% - 0.45% and mannitol 1.80% - 2.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
With vitamin C from ascorbic acid, to unify skin tone and dispel dullness, whilst stimulating collagen synthesis to leave skin looking plumped and luminous; alongside boswellic acid – renowned for its ability to relax micro-muscular contractions, so fine lines look less obvious – this quick-fix treatment is a bathroom cabinet must-have.

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains ascorbic acid.
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.

A derivative of vitamin C that is more stable, but less bioavailable than the pure form of vitamin C. It does not penetrate the skin well, but has been shown to convert to pure vitamin C once in skin. It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production and lightening the skin tone, but the required concentration is likely to be very high

Moisturizing
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": copper pca, glycogen.
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).
