MoisturizingPalmitoyl hexapeptide-19, Panthenol + 12 moreWorks well
“A rich source of unsaturated fats and Vitamin D. Shea Butter penetrates skin deeply to moisturize, stimulate microcirculation and collagen production, effectively combating signs of fine lines and wrinkles.”
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:
sodium hyaluronate, 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: dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl hexapeptide-19, panthenol
Anti-agingPalmitoyl hexapeptide-19, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice + 2 moreMay help
“Smooths appearance of pores, refines the depth of fine lines and wrinkles, and reveals radiant complexion Protecting.”
This product contains palmitoyl hexapeptide-19. 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.
