Works for
MoisturizingOligopeptide-1, Olea europaea fruit oil + 22 moreWorks well
“Featuring a syringe containing a rejuvenating cocktail of hyaluronic crystals and potent actives including plant stem cells, plus a pair of serum-coated gloves, this dual-phase hand mask works to repair and tackle fine lines, dryness and imperfections.”
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:
erythritol, 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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: oligopeptide-1
Anti-agingAscorbic acid, Oligopeptide-1 + 2 moreWorks well
“Featuring a syringe containing a rejuvenating cocktail of hyaluronic crystals and potent actives including plant stem cells, plus a pair of serum-coated gloves, this dual-phase hand mask works to repair and tackle fine lines, dryness and imperfections.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains ascorbic acid.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: oligopeptide-1.
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.
Evens skin toneNot advertised by the brand · Ascorbic acidWorks well
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: ascorbic acid.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Ascorbic acid, Camellia japonica flower extract + 4 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (ascorbic acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - camellia japonica flower extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
