Anti-agingAdenosine, Lycium barbarum fruit extract + 2 moreStrong evidence
“softer surface, the formula helps to soothe dryness and resist moisture loss. Hyaluronic Acid is known for its hydrating properties – it aims to soften the look of fine lines for a smoother, youthful illusion”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
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.
MoisturizingSodium hyaluronate, Betaine + 15 moreGood evidence
“Wrap your pout in moisture”
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: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Lycium barbarum fruit extract, Adenosine + 2 moreModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (lycium barbarum fruit 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.

Ingredient callouts
- Adenosine 0.45% - 1.05%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells.

- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.95% - 1.45%, glycerin 0.45% - 1.05% and betaine 0.35% - 0.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
