Product Summary

Ingredient callouts
- A good concentration of Niacinamide (1.60% - 2.40%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 1.30% - 2.00%, sodium hyaluronate 0.35% - 0.75%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.40% - 0.95%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 1.20% - 1.80%, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans 0.05% - 0.25%, hyaluronic acid 0.55% - 1.25%, glyceryl glucoside 0.10% - 0.30%, glycerin 3.50% - 5.30% and biosaccharide gum-1 0.10% - 0.35%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Chock-full of essential vitamins and anti-inflammatory antioxidants, celery instantly hydrates and balances skin.
Source: Cultbeauty
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
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.

It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture.

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Celery + Hyaluronic Acid Serum Shot
Source: From product name
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
