Anti-agingNiacinamide, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 1 moreStrong evidence
“Kakadu Plum Seed Oil: One of the most natural and stable forms of Vitamin C, this superfruit has a great source of antioxidants to help plump, brighten, and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 18 moreStrong evidence
“The combination of GlowPlex and Kakadu Plum, one of the most natural and stable forms of vitamin C, plumps and nourishes skin with antioxidant-rich properties.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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, ricinus communis seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
Evens skin toneNiacinamide, Pisum sativum extractStrong evidence
“GlowPlex™: A complex of Niacinamide and natural peptides including Quinoa Seed Extract and Pea Extract that boosts radiance, smooths, firms, and brightens skin tone.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
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.
Anti-blemishNot advertised by the brand · Niacinamide, Pistacia lentiscus gumStrong evidence
