“Argassential – a high tech argan oil extract – improves fat-building and collagen synthesis to boost skin’s elasticity, Neoderyml R reactivates fibroblasts to improve collagen vitality and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 stimulates molecular synthesis to help thicken skin and fill out wrinkles.”
This product contains lysine, palmitoyl tripeptide-38. There is some human evidence that these ingredients help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Palmitoyl tripeptide-38, Glycerin + 10 moreWorks well
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, mel.
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: palmitoyl tripeptide-38
