MoisturizingGlycerin, Anhydroxylitol + 9 moreGood evidence
“IMMEDIATELY: Dry, thirsty skin is hydrated.”
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:
anhydroxylitol, glycerin.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.
Evens skin toneHexylresorcinol, Ascorbyl glucosideLimited evidence
“By targeting the 5 signs of aging, RoC Multi Correxion Even Tone + Lift 5 in 1 Restoring Night Cream evens skin tone for firmer, smoother looking skin.”
This product contains ingredients (hexylresorcinol) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butter, Ascorbyl glucosideLimited evidence
“This facial night cream visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep.”
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.
This ingredient hexylresorcinol might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Hexylresorcinol, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 1 moreModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (hexylresorcinol) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
