Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Amino acids and antioxidants prevent free radical damage and signs of premature aging.
Source: Dermstore
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains human fibroblast conditioned media.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
A cocktail of amino acids that can stimulate skin cell growth and renewal having an anti-aging effect
Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
TNS Recovery Complex is clinically tested to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin tone and texture.
Source: Bluemercury
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, caprylyl glycol.
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).
