Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 9 moreWorks
“Raspberry extract protects cells from excessive water loss.”
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.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
ExfoliationPapainNot delivered
“Papaya powder works as an enzyme peel and is an instant solution to removing dull skin while minimizing pores.”
This product might help exfoliate the skin with papain, but This ingredient is not the most effective.
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butter, Tocopherol + 1 moreNot delivered
“The glow mask instantly makes the skin radiate while reducing fine lines and imperfections.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
