Anti-agingNiacinamide, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 1 moreWorks well
“Niacinamide — Also known as Vitamin B3, supports skin's barrier while helping to improve the look of skin texture.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

MoisturizingSide benefit · Niacinamide, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 6 moreWorks well
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.

within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
lactobacillus ferment.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment.

The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
