“Clinical studies show that vitamin A in Carrot Seed Oil is an effective ingredient to naturally treat signs of aging.”

This product contains astaxanthin. This ingredient 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.

What the product description says
“Meadowfoam: Rich in fatty acids to lock in moisture to enrich skin's barrier for long-lasting moisture.”
Source: Savor Beauty

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
