“Supports the natural barrier”
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:
glucosamine hcl, 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: chondrus crispus extract, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, pentapeptide-18
Anti-agingPalmitoyl pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl tripeptide-5 + 8 moreMay help
“It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps brighten lackluster skin and helps improve the look of firmness.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, pentapeptide-18. 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.
Evens skin toneGlucosamine hcl, Pisum sativum extractMay help
“Improves the look of skin tone and texture”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: glucosamine hcl.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (pentapeptide-18 2.00% - 2.90%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 2.60% - 4.00%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 1.40% - 2.10%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.60% - 2.50%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 3.60% - 5.40%, dipeptide-2 1.20% - 1.80%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.60% - 1.35% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.95% - 1.45%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (glycerin 4.20% - 6.20%, glucosamine hcl 0.15% - 0.70%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.60% - 1.35% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.95% - 1.45%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
