Ingredient callouts

this product contains an effective form of Retinoids (vitamin A): retinol 0.10% - 0.20%. Retinoids are potent multitasking actives. They work to improve and prevent early signs of aging, reduce hyperpigmentation (age spots and post-acne marks), and prevent inflamed blemishes and clogged pores. The downside of Retinoids is that they can be irritating. If you are not already using a Retinoid in your routine, it is best to start slowly and apply the Retinoid product only a few times per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase the frequency to daily.
Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.20% - 0.35%, ceramide np 0.20% - 0.35%, ceramide eop 0.15% - 0.30%, ceramide ap 0.15% - 0.25%, phytosphingosine 0.20% - 0.35%, ceramide ap 0.15% - 0.25%, ceramide eop 0.15% - 0.30% and ceramide np 0.20% - 0.35%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
Peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.15% - 0.25% and acetyl tetrapeptide-11 0.15% - 0.25%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
Humectants (betaine 0.15% - 0.25%, saccharide isomerate 0.15% - 0.30%, glycerin 0.20% - 0.35%, saccharomyces ferment filtrate 0.15% - 0.25%, fructooligosaccharides 0.15% - 0.25%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.25%, glycerin 0.15% - 0.30% and yeast extract 1.30% - 1.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Go To Bed With Me Complete Anti-Aging Night Routine

Source: From product name

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains retinol.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl tetrapeptide-11, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside.

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.

retinol 0.1% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Two steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinol is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. It can, however, be quite irritating

acetyl tetrapeptide-11 0.15% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.15% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

, Ceramides Replenish the skin with lasting hydration and strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier against environmental stressors responsible for premature aging.

Source: Sephora CA

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, fructooligosaccharides.

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: chondrus crispus extract, dimethicone.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-11, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine

dimethicone 0.3% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish

linolenic acid 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient that helps soften the skin and calm down inflammation

ceramide ap 0.15% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin

Anti-blemish

This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: retinol. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

retinol 0.1% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

kaolin 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color

phytosphingosine 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A type of lipid that is naturally present in skin. It might help in repairing skin barrier function and has anti-bacterial effect

Evens skin tone

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: retinol.

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: glycyrrhiza glabra root extract, stearyl glycyrrhetinate.

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

retinol 0.1% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

stearyl glycyrrhetinate 0.15% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A fatty acid derived from licorice. Works as an emollient and can help calm down inflammation

glycyrrhiza glabra root extract 0.1% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals

Exfoliation

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: retinol.

retinol 0.1% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

lactic acid 0.4% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)

copper gluconate 0.15% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Typically used to stabilize the product formulations. It is a salt of polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and in larger concentrations, can help shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals, but solid research is missing

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside, retinol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

retinol 0.1% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside 0.15% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A synthetic version of green tea polyphenol that helps neutralize free radicals in skin

pimpinella anisum fruit extract 0.15% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that can have some anti-oxidant properties. Can be used as a fragrance and to help preserve product formulations. Can be irritating
