Anti-agingAscorbyl tetraisopalmitateMay help
“Blended with an innovative 2% Lifting Complex made from a cocktail of actives, the oil diminishes the look of fine lines for a finish that appears clearer for a more youthful illusion.”
This product contains ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate. There is some human evidence that this ingredient helps reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.
Evens skin toneAscorbyl tetraisopalmitate, Glycyrrhiza glabra root extractMay help
“With Skin Tightener ST, the skin appears smoother and tighter, while Stay-C 50 helps reduce the look of pigmentation and promote a more even skin tone.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, glycyrrhiza glabra root extract.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, Tocopheryl acetate + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol + 8 moreWorks
“Key Benefits diamond powder helps to reflect ambient light across skin for a boost of radiance marshmallow root, known to brighten the skin Vitamins C and E are known to support skins natural elasticity for supple skin Rice bran oil known to condition the skin for a hydrated complexion”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethiconol.
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).
