Skin Inc Supplement Bar Serum-Infused Night Oil
Works for
MoisturizingOlea europaea fruit oil, Glycerin + 12 moreWorks
“Olive oil is packed with antioxidants and hydrating squalane, making it ideal for skin hydration and repair.”
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:
arginine, diglycerin.
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: arginine, glycine soja seed extract.
Evens skin toneRetinyl palmitate, Glycine soja seed extractMay help
“A popular serum choice, Vitamin A helps improve uneven skin tone, tired, dull skin and dark eye circles to make skin more radiant.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: glycine soja seed extract, retinyl palmitate.
Anti-blemishRetinyl palmitateNot delivered
“While it regulates the production of sebum to prevent further breakouts, Vitamin C also helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores for clearer skin.”
This product contains ingredients (retinyl palmitate) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tocopherol, Glycine soja seed extract + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (tocopherol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-agingSide benefit the brand mentions · Retinyl palmitate, Serine + 3 moreMay help
“treats, restores and balances temperamental skin Vitamin C. helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores for clearer skin Vitamin E. helps neutralize free radicals, which damage cells, to promote youthful-looking and radiant skin Lavender Essential Oil.”
This product contains retinyl palmitate, serine. 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.

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
