This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethicone, methicone.
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).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: hexapeptide-3, tripeptide-3
Anti-agingTripeptide-3, Hexapeptide-3May help
“Perfect and protect your complexion with the Rodial SPF20 Skin Tint , a tinted moisturiser fortified with SPF20 and a unique blend of amino-peptides to help combat multiple signs of ageing.”
This product contains hexapeptide-3, tripeptide-3. 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. The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).
