MoisturizingCeramide ap, Ceramide np + 20 moreStrong evidence
“Replenishing moisturizer uses essential lipids and potent age fighting ingredients to strengthen the skin barrier while also improving elasticity, fullness, and texture of the 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:
glycerin, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 2, ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine, tetrapeptide-21
Anti-agingResveratrol, Tetrapeptide-21 + 1 moreModerate evidence
“Packed full of anti-aging ingredients such as squalene, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, resveratrol, bisabolol, niacinamide, and stem cells to strengthen the skin barrier while also improving elasticity, fullness, and texture of the skin.”
This product contains resveratrol, tetrapeptide-21. These ingredients 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.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Resveratrol, Caffeine + 2 moreStrong evidence
This product contains antioxidants (resveratrol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
