MoisturizingPanthenol, Persea gratissima oil + 4 moreWorks well
“Relieves acne and other skin disturbances.”
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, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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: borago officinalis seed oil, persea gratissima oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Helps stimulate circulation; exfoliates dead skin cells and draws out toxins, rejuvenating healthy skin.”
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 · Vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil, Rubus idaeus seed oil + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (rubus idaeus seed oil, vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil) 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.
