Works for
MoisturizingPanthenol, Sh-oligopeptide-2 + 28 moreWorks well
“Wide Awake Brightening Eye Cream (8ml) , A lightweight cream formulated with antioxidants, avocado protein, and a peptide complex to visibly illuminate and maximize hydration.”
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:
alanine, betaine.
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, cetearyl alcohol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-22, sh-polypeptide-8, sh-polypeptide-9
ExfoliationSide benefit · Glycolic acidWorks well
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Glycolic acid, Alanine + 2 moreWorks well
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glycolic acid
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: alanine.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-agingSide benefit · Glycolic acid, Sh-polypeptide-9 + 9 moreWorks well
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains glycolic acid.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: serine, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-22, sh-polypeptide-8, sh-polypeptide-9.
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.

Product summary
"Saturday Skin - Take Control" is effective for: Moisturizing, Exfoliation, Evens skin tone and Anti-aging
Ingredient callouts
- Exfoliating acids (glycolic acid 4.80% - 5.90%). In this concentration, they will have a noticeable exfoliating effect. They can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run.
- This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.20% - 0.40%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Peptides (sh-polypeptide-22 0.05% - 0.10%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.10% - 0.20%, sh-polypeptide-22 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-polypeptide-9 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-polypeptide-8 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-oligopeptide-2 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-polypeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40% and sh-oligopeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40%). 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.
- Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 1.10% - 1.30% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
- Humectants (alanine 0.20% - 0.35%, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.20% - 0.40%, betaine 0.20% - 0.40%, glycerin 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.40%, polyglutamic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, saccharide hydrolysate 0.20% - 0.40%, polyglycerin-3 0.25% - 0.45%, trehalose 0.20% - 0.40%, glycerin 0.25% - 0.45%, sh-polypeptide-8 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium pca 0.75% - 1.15%, panthenol 1.10% - 1.30% and glycerin 1.90% - 2.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
