StriVectin Multi-Action Active Infusion Youth Serum
Works for
MoisturizingAcetyl tetrapeptide-2, Glycerin + 12 moreWorks well
“The complexion is left balanced, hydrated and infused with a youthful glow.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": carnosine, glycerin.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-2
Anti-agingAcetyl tetrapeptide-2, Carnosine + 1 moreMay help
“The formula helps to strengthen the skin’s barrier to protect against free radical damage, smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and create a firmer, more toned skin texture.”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-2, carnosine. These ingredients 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-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia oleifera leaf extract, Carnosine + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (camellia oleifera leaf extract, carnosine) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
