What does the product description say?

Infused with Jaumdan Water and apricot kernel oil, this cushion is packed full of antioxidants that hydrates, lifts and promotes collagen production in the skin, leaving you with a complexion that looks flawless and youthful. .

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.

adenosine 0.4% - 0.95%

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)

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Packed with antioxidants to hydrate, lift and promote collagen production Tiger lily extract .

Source: Althea

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: dimethicone, peg-10 dimethicone.

peg-10 dimethicone 1.2% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that works to soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce its water loss

phenyl trimethicone 1.5% - 2.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of silicone that can decrease loss of moisture from the skin surface. It helps create a nice product texture

polymethylsilsesquioxane 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that improves product texture and helps dissolve other ingredients. Can form a non-greasy film on the skin to prevent moisture loss

Evens skin tone

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: arbutin, prunus mume fruit extract.

arbutin 0.6% - 1.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Beta-arbutin. Can help to reduce hyperpigmentation and has an anti-oxidant effect when used in high enough concentration. Is less effective compared to alpha-arbutin

prunus mume fruit extract 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might have an anti-oxidant effect and help even out skin tone, but solid evidence of effectiveness is lacking

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (arbutin) 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.

arbutin 0.6% - 1.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Beta-arbutin. Can help to reduce hyperpigmentation and has an anti-oxidant effect when used in high enough concentration. Is less effective compared to alpha-arbutin

prunus mume fruit extract 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might have an anti-oxidant effect and help even out skin tone, but solid evidence of effectiveness is lacking

adenosine 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

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)
