MoisturizingSh-oligopeptide-1, Sh-oligopeptide-2 + 7 moreWorks well
“Wake up to visibly hydrated, brighter, firmer-looking skin with this overnight moisturizer, designed to restore while you sleep.”
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, butylene glycol.
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: cholesterol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-22
Evens skin toneGlycyrrhiza glabra root extractNot delivered
“This ultra-light bio-cellulose mask adheres to your face like a second skin, fully infusing your complexion with bilberry, liquorice and lotus extracts to diminish dark spots and uncover fresh, even and hydrated radiance.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root 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.
Anti-agingSide benefit · Sh-oligopeptide-1, Sh-oligopeptide-2 + 1 moreMay help
This product contains sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-22. There is some human evidence that these ingredients help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.

Product summary

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (sh-oligopeptide-2 0.10% - 0.35%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.10% - 0.35%, sh-polypeptide-22 0.10% - 0.35% and sh-polypeptide-1 0.10% - 0.35%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Humectants (glycerin 1.80% - 2.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
