What does the product description say?

"Ginger + Vitamin C Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer"

From product name

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

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: jojoba esters, isododecane.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
corallina officinalis extract	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product contains adenosine. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
adenosine	MEDIUM
3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid	LOW
niacinamide	HIGH

WIMJ summary for evens skin tone

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid	MEDIUM
niacinamide	HIGH
dipotassium glycyrrhizate	LOW

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid) 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.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid	MEDIUM
adenosine	LOW
corallina officinalis extract	LOW

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	5.7% - 8.5%
pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate Used to create a nice product consistency while softening the upper layer of the skin	3.8% - 5.6%

3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C.

polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate Helps water and oil mix together	0.15% - 0.65%
glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products	0.15% - 0.65%
hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer A gelling agent that thickens the product consistency and leaves the skin with a velvety finish	0.15% - 0.55%
