Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.15% - 0.65%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.10% - 1.60%, acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.50% - 1.20%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.35% - 0.80% and acetyl tetrapeptide-11 1.30% - 1.90%). 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.
Humectants (hyaluronic acid 1.70% - 2.50%, glycerin 3.40% - 5.10% and acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.35% - 0.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-11, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-38. 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.

palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.15% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

acetyl tetrapeptide-11 1.3% - 1.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.5% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Evens skin tone

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: chrysin.

chrysin 0.15% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as lightening the skin, but solid evidence is missing. Could somewhat help in reducing the darkness of the under-eye area. Helps to neutralise free radicals in skin

Moisturizing

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: glycerin, hyaluronic acid.

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: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, pentylene glycol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-11, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-38

palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.15% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

acetyl tetrapeptide-11 1.3% - 1.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (chrysin, haematococcus pluvialis extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

chrysin 0.15% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

haematococcus pluvialis extract 0.85% - 1.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Green algae extract that might contain antioxidant astaxanthin

ascophyllum nodosum extract 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Brown seaweed extract. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some antioxidant effect

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Pair it with our Microneedling Tool to gently micro-exfoliate the skin and boost the wrinkle-refining benefits of the serum.

Source: Stacked Skincare

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
