"Sonya Dakar - Flash Facial" could be helpful for: Anti-aging and Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
This product contains acids (lactic acid 1.40% - 2.00%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
Humectants (sodium pca 1.90% - 2.90% and glycerin 0.45% - 1.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Price
The product retails for 159.00$ in the United States.
This product contains antioxidants (resveratrol) that can help neutralize
free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as even out the skin tone
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Sufficiently gentle for everyday use, this cocktail of exfoliating lactic acid, hydrating hylasome (5 times more moisturising than typical hyaluronic acid) and antioxidant-rich resveratrol tackles all common signs of skin ageing; refining texture, dispelling dullness, diminishing fine lines and protecting from the everyday environmental onslaught.
This product contains resveratrol.
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.
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called
"humectants":
glycerin, sodium pca.
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).
