Peptides (trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2 0.15% - 0.30%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.50%, palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminobutyroyl hydroxythreonine 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-polypeptide-11 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-polypeptide-1 0.20% - 0.35%, sh-polypeptide-9 0.20% - 0.35% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 1.40% - 1.70%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
Humectants (dextran 0.10% - 0.15%, saccharide isomerate 0.20% - 0.35%, histidine 0.25% - 0.45%, alanine 0.25% - 0.45%, glycine 0.25% - 0.45%, aspartic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, arginine 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium lactate 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium pca 0.25% - 0.45%, aminobutyric acid 0.35% - 0.60%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.40% and glycerin 2.40% - 2.90%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

This product contains aspartic acid, palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminobutyroyl hydroxythreonine, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, serine, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-9, tetradecyl aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric urea trifluoroacetate, threonine, tocotrienols, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2. 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.

threonine 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

tocotrienols 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of vitamin E that is more powerful in neutralizing free radicals compared to its other forms

aspartic acid 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An amino-acid that helps increase skin hydration and might help to slightly improve skin firmness, potentially reducing lines and wrinkles

Evens skin tone

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: alpha-arbutin

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: alanine.

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

alpha-arbutin 3.2% - 3.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might help reduce hyperpigmentation when used regularly over a long period of time. Is more effective than beta-arbutin

alanine 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help to lighten the skin, but solid evidence is lacking

tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate 0.35% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.

Moisturizing

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: alanine, aminobutyric acid.

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: arginine, butyrospermum parkii butter.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminobutyroyl hydroxythreonine, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-9, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2

ubiquinone 0.5% - 0.7%

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

palmitoyl tripeptide-5 1.4% - 1.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

phytosterols 0.35% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Lipids that work as an emollient and can be helpful in repairing skin barrier function

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia oleifera leaf extract, tocotrienols, 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).

The following ingredients - squalene also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

ubiquinone 0.5% - 0.7%

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 oleifera leaf extract 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, even though it is not usually used in sufficient concentration in cosmetics

tocotrienols 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of vitamin E that is more powerful in neutralizing free radicals compared to its other forms
