“Stimulates cellular growth, proliferation, and healing Moisturizes 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:
hydrolyzed collagen, sodium hyaluronate.
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: hydrolyzed collagen, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: sh-oligopeptide-1
Anti-agingSh-oligopeptide-1May help
“It will trigger cell regeneration and may help restore skin damaged by sun damage, natural signs of aging as well as chemical peels and laser treatments.”
This product contains sh-oligopeptide-1. 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.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (sh-oligopeptide-1 2.60% - 3.90%). 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.
- Humectants (hydrolyzed collagen 1.30% - 1.90%, sodium hyaluronate 1.90% - 2.80% and sodium pca 3.30% - 5.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
