Product Summary

Ingredient callouts

Peptides (oligopeptide-1 1.70% - 2.50%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
Humectants (mannitol 0.05% - 0.15%, betaine 0.15% - 0.65%, soluble collagen 1.40% - 2.00% and glycerin 3.70% - 5.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?

Brand from Japan Skin Care Ism. Skin Care Ism Poreless Essence is moisturizing serum which approaches rough ( uneven ) skin.

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, glycerin.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: oligopeptide-1

Soluble collagen1.4% - 2%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

Betaine0.15% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture

Glycerin3.7% - 5.6%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

Mannitol0.05% - 0.15%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin

Oligopeptide-11.7% - 2.5%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Butylene glycol5.7% - 8.5%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:LOW

Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

Aloe barbadensis extract0.6% - 1.4%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:LOW

Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin

Rosa damascena flower water0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Insufficient!

Used to add a nice rose smell to the product. Might help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and have some anti-oxidant effect. Can be irritating

Anti-aging

This product contains 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.

Oligopeptide-11.7% - 2.5%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate1.2% - 1.7%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Insufficient!

A derivative of vitamin C that is more stable, but less bioavailable than the pure form of vitamin C. It does not penetrate the skin well, but has been shown to convert to pure vitamin C once in skin. It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production and lightening the skin tone, but the required concentration is likely to be very high
