Works for
MoisturizingPisum sativum peptide, Glycerin + 3 moreWorks well
“Bearberry, mulberry, and licorice extracts brighten and plump skin.”
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:
algae extract, 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: algae extract.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: pisum sativum peptide
Anti-agingPisum sativum peptide, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice + 1 moreMay help
“Pea Peptides: stimulates collagen synthesis for tissue repair”
This product contains pisum sativum peptide. 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.
Evens skin toneGlycyrrhiza glabra root extractNot delivered
“Bearberry, mulberry, and licorice extracts brighten and plump skin.”
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.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“This collagen-rich peel is a cooling concoction of cherry, pineapple, and papaya active enzymes for exfoliation to eat away dead skin cells gently.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis extract, Zingiber officinale root extract + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
