Moisturizing5 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“Enriched with Vitamin E, C, and Beta thujaplicin, the nourishing formulation prevents moisture loss throughout the day and protects the skin from environmental factors.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-aging2 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“It works to combat multiple signs of aging including the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin tone1 ingredient credited for this claimWeak support
“Enriched with stabilized vitamin C, hinokitiol (beta-t), and vitamin E to visibly soften fine lines, even skin tone, and improve overall skin comfort.”

A more stable but less potent derivative of vitamin C. It can help neautralize free radicals and even out the skin tone if used in high enough concentration (required levels are likely to be much higher than for pure vitamin C, and solid studies are lacking at the moment)
