Stila Stay All Day 10-in-1 Illuminating Skin Veil
Works for
MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-37, C12-15 alkyl benzoate + 13 moreWorks well
“Working to brighten the complexion, the priming balm is enriched with skin-loving ingredients including antioxidants and peptides to help the appearance of skin tone and texture, while hydrating and nourishing.”
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, butylene glycol.
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: dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-37
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-37, Decarboxy carnosine hcl + 1 moreMay help
“Upon application, the silky and luxurious formula imparts a dewy, radiant glow that seems to defy the signs of age and time.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-37. 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.
Anti-blemishRosmarinus officinalis leaf extract ~0.3–0.55%, below the ~1% it needsUnder-dosed
“Formulated with micro-spheres, the balm helps blur skin imperfections, reduce pore size and redness, and provides oil and blemish control, while actively working to reduce inflammation and improve the skin’s texture.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Decarboxy carnosine hcl, Pyrus malus fruit extract + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (decarboxy carnosine hcl) 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.
