Works for
MoisturizingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 9 moreWorks well
“Skin feels hydrated and appears luminous with an improved appearance of skin firmness and clarity.”
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:
glycerin, glucose.
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: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 4 moreMay help
“Based on advanced skin care science and natural ingredients, this potent Seaweed and Peptide-based serum helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps fight the visible signs of premature aging.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5. These ingredients 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Chrysin, Laminaria digitata extractMay help
This product contains antioxidants (chrysin) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Chrysin, N-hydroxysuccinimideMay help
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: chrysin.
