Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Sisley-Paris - Phyto-Blanc Brightening Protective Moisturizer" can work well for skin moisturization. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Panthenol, glycerin, butylene glycol and caprylyl glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Glycine soja oil, dimethicone, macadamia ternifolia seed oil, caprylyl glycol and dicaprylyl carbonate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

We particularly like that there is a good concentration of Niacinamide (1.90% - 2.40%) in this moisturizer. Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is a great ingredient to have in a moisturizer. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and help improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 0.70% - 1.05%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: panthenol and vitamin e

Irritation risk

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

The new generation urban shield An exceptional patented* brightening skin care product that diminishes the look of dark spots.

Source: Bluemercury

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.

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.

niacinamide 1.9% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production

tocopherol 0.3% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

*Patent pending in France Key Benefits Instantly, the skin is moisturized, protected and beautified.Day after day, the skin looks more visibly unified, the appearance of dark spots is diminished.Le Soin revives the radiance of the complexion for brighter and more radiant looking skin.

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide

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: hexylresorcinol.

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.

niacinamide 1.9% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

hexylresorcinol 0.65% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Might be helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals in skin

pisum sativum extract 0.5% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Might be helpful in protecting skin collagen and elastin from breaking down but solid research is lacking

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Phyto-Blanc Brightening Protective Moisturizer

Source: From product name

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: dimethicone, glycine soja oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide, panthenol

glycine soja oil 0.5% - 0.7%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function. It can clog pores if used in high concentrations.

niacinamide 1.9% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

panthenol 0.7% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Anti-blemish

This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

niacinamide 1.9% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (hexylresorcinol) 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.

hexylresorcinol 0.65% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might be helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals in skin

rosa canina fruit extract 0.5% - 0.7%
