STARSKIN Close-Up™ Coconut Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Firming Face Mask

Anti-agingAdenosine, Tripeptide-1 + 1 moreWorks well
“Achieve a youthful looking complexion with Close-Up Firming Coconut Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Face Mask from STARSKIN .”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline.
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.
MoisturizingTripeptide-1, Tripeptide-10 citrulline + 12 moreWorks well
“Suitable for all skin types, the organic formula contains Coconut which thoroughly hydrates the skin and Soy Protein offering illuminating benefits, leaving skin nourished and visibly luminous.”
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:
betaine, glycerin.
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: cocos nucifera fruit extract, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline
