Works for
MoisturizingOligopeptide-24, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 10 moreWorks well
“This treatment features a lightweight oil complex to provide a burst of hydration that nourishes the skin and protects the skin barrier.”
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, lactobacillus ferment.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: oligopeptide-24
Anti-agingOligopeptide-24, Limnanthes alba seed oil + 2 moreMay help
“Fortified with RéVive’s signature Bio-Renewal Peptide, it helps renew the skin, reducing the signs of ageing for a soft, hydrated complexion with a radiantly youthful glow.”
This product contains oligopeptide-24. This ingredient 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.
ExfoliationPapain, Lactobacillus/pumpkin ferment extractNot delivered
“The treatment is formulated with fruit enzymes that perform a gentle exfoliating action.”
This product might help exfoliate the skin with lactobacillus/pumpkin ferment extract, papain, but These ingredients is not the most effective.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (oligopeptide-24 1.70% - 2.10%). 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 (lactobacillus ferment 0.10% - 0.20% and glycerin 2.50% - 3.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
