“while Prodizia™ tackles a dull, uneven skin tone and neurophroline™ and BEL-EVEN™ work to counter stress-induced inflammation and collagen loss.”

“With Lanablue™, vitamin C and hydrators, it helps fight free radical damage to leave the skin with a luminous, lit-from-within 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:
aphanizomenon flos-aquae extract, arginine.
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: arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Dimethylmethoxy chromanol, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae extract + 3 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (dimethylmethoxy chromanol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - aphanizomenon flos-aquae extract, haematococcus pluvialis extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
