Product Summary
"Replenix - AE Facial Firming Therapy" is a well-rounded moisturizing product.
Ingredient callouts
- This moistruizer also contains peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.95% - 1.40%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 6.80% - 10.10% and acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 1.20% - 1.70%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of peptides is, but it is very likely that peptides in skincare are helpful. They might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract extracted from Giant Sea Kelp provides immediate tightening and toning action while Hyaluronic Acid offers powerful moisture replenishment, leaving skin taut, firm and hydrated.
Source: Skinstore
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl tripeptide-38
