Rosental Organics BB Serum | with Squalane & Ginseng - Light
Works for
MoisturizingSqualane, Glycerin + 12 moreWorks
“This lightweight formula minimizes wrinkles, deeply moisturizes, and instantly enhances your glow.”
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:
fructose, 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: helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane.
Anti-agingGlycine soja seed extract, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice + 2 moreNot delivered
“This lightweight formula minimizes wrinkles, deeply moisturizes, and instantly enhances your glow.”
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 - glycine soja seed extract - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin toneGlycine soja seed extractNot delivered
“Available in three shades, it adapts seamlessly to every skin tone.”
This product contains ingredients (glycine soja seed extract) 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.
