Ingredient callouts

  • Peptides (dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.15% - 0.60%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
  • In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.10% - 1.60%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
  • Humectants (xylitylglucoside 0.80% - 1.20%, sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 1.05%, glycerin 4.40% - 6.70% and allantoin 1.10% - 1.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
