Key actives
Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (malpighia punicifolia fruit extract) 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.
A fruit extract that might help neutralize free radicals. The concentrations typically used in cosmetics are too small to have an effect
A plant oil that might somewhat help to neutralize free radicals. It could be irritating
A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties, but evidence is lacking
Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Additional selected active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and highly concentrated vitamin C optimize the elasticity of your skin and balance the complexion – even in cases of uneven pigmentation.

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: cocos nucifera oil, dicaprylyl carbonate.
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
A plant oil that might somewhat help to neutralize free radicals. It could be irritating
Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
Helps products spread more easily and works as an emollient to soften skin
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
The antioxidants and botanical extracts contained in the Phytoactive Serum strengthen the skin’s defences noticeably against both genetic (intrinsic) and environmental (extrinsic) aging.

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 malpighia punicifolia fruit extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Additional selected active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and highly concentrated vitamin C optimize the elasticity of your skin and balance the complexion – even in cases of uneven pigmentation.
