Anti-aging4 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“This silky, smooth, anti-aging cream helps revitalize fatigued skin against stress and environmental factors with green plum blossom, the brand's five fruit and seed compound and yuja and hardy orange complex.”
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.
Moisturizing21 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“Bloomstay Vitalizing Cream”
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, honey.
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, squalane.
Evens skin tone4 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“Dullness and Uneven Texture Formulation.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza uralensis root extract, prunus mume fruit extract) 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.
