We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.40% - 0.60%). 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. Peptides 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.
Adenosine 0.25% - 0.45%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).

What can the product work for?

Does not work for

Evens skin tone
Exfoliation

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

The skin is tightened and firmed, reducing wrinkles and enabling a more youthful appearance.

Source: Allbeauty

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: palmitoyl tripeptide-38.

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.

adenosine 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)

palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.4% - 0.6%

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

butyrospermum parkii butter 4.5% - 5.6%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Crepe Control Tightening Body Cream

Source: From product name

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, sodium hyaluronate.

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: palmitoyl tripeptide-38

vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil 0.3% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A plant oil that can help neutralize free radicals, soften the upper layer of the skin, and support skin's barrier function

theobroma grandiflorum seed butter 0.3% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might as well help to attract moisture to its upper layer

astrocaryum murumuru seed butter 0.35% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Could be comedogenic due to the myrisic acid content

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane, vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil) 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.

vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil 0.3% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant oil that can help neutralize free radicals, soften the upper layer of the skin, and support skin's barrier function

tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane 0.35% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An anti-oxidant derived from curcumin (naturally present in tumeric). Is a part of the tetrahydrocurcuminoids complex (THC). The complex might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin and possibly help even out the skin tone. Can be irritating

hippophae rhamnoides fruit oil 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant oil that might somewhat help to neutralize free radicals. It could be irritating

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

More than a body moisturizer, this transforming treatment is packed with potent peptides plus lifting and brightening agents to visibly tighten and even skin tone.

Source: Lookfantastic US

This product contains ingredients (tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane 0.35% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

lactic acid 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

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)

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

When paired with Crepe Control™ Exfoliating Body Scrub, it’s the ultimate system for youthful-looking results.

Source: Lookfantastic US

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.
