“Nutrient Concentrate Skin Smoothing XL”
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, saccharide isomerate.
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: cholesterol, pentylene glycol.
Anti-agingRetinyl palmitate ~0.45–1.05%, below the ~0.5% it needsUnder-dosed
“Deeply conditioning, it's abundant with aloe-derived hyaluronic acid which helps to maintain moisture levels and 'plump up' your cells to diminish the depth of fine lines, while niacinamide increase cellular energy to trigger essentials skin 'maintenance'.”

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
