Peptides (nicotiana benthamiana hexapeptide-40 sh-oligopeptide-1 1.30% - 1.90%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.50% - 2.20%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 1.80% - 2.80% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 2.30% - 3.50%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, 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 theynare helpful. Peptides 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.
Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 1.05%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.50% - 2.20% and glycerin 4.00% - 6.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Formulated to restore hydration and support skin renewal for a more youthful, collagen rich appearance.

Source: Dermstore

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 hexapeptide-8, nicotiana benthamiana hexapeptide-40 sh-oligopeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tripeptide-5

glycerin 4% - 6.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

ubiquinone 0.15% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Coenzyme Q10. It helps neutralize free radicals in skin, improves skin hydration and might be helpful agains fine lines and wrinkles. It can be an allergen

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

ubiquinone 0.15% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Coenzyme Q10. It helps neutralize free radicals in skin, improves skin hydration and might be helpful agains fine lines and wrinkles. It can be an allergen

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.4% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

cucumis sativus fruit extract 0.2% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect
