Ingredient callouts
In addition, this product contains Allantoin (3.70% - 5.50%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
Humectants (allantoin 3.70% - 5.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Price
The product retails for 34.90$ in the United States.
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called
"humectants":
allantoin, mel.
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).
Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can be irritating
Anti-aging
This product contains camellia seed oil.
This ingredient 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.
Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (camellia seed oil) that can help neutralize
free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients.
It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin.
We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
