This product does not offer good protection against UVA rays.
Anti-agingRetinyl palmitateMay help
“Fortified with antioxidant Nyamplung Oil™ and Suberlift™ (a natural extract of the Cork Oak Tree), the weightless foundation provides anti-ageing benefits, whilst delivering broad spectrum protection to defend against environmental aggressors.”
This product contains retinyl palmitate. 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. The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Linoleic acid, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 8 moreWorks well
“Achieve a smooth, flawless complexion with Studio 10 Age Repair Perfect Canvas SPF 30 ; an all-in-one treatment foundation that works to hydrate, protect and create an airbrushed effect.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: linoleic acid
Evens skin toneSide benefit the brand mentions · Retinyl palmitateMay help
“Utilising optical diffusing pigments, the unique colour-adjusting formula blends seamlessly onto skin to blur the appearance of fine lines, visible pores and uneven skin tone.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: retinyl palmitate.
The biggest effect for evening out skin tone in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations. This is why sun protection is the best strategy for maintaining an even skin tone. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
