"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.

Acetyl Hexapeptide and Palmitoyl Tripeptide work in synergy to cosmetically relax the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, while supporting the regeneration of skin’s dermal matrix and promoting collagen synthesis.
This product contains acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl tripeptide-38.
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.
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
