Works for
MoisturizingPersea gratissima oil, Dimethicone + 13 moreWorks
“Loaded with antioxidant-rich ingredients, Super Glow delivers a powerful burst of hydration and ultra-nourishing radiance to the complexion.”
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, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer.
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: cocos nucifera oil, dimethicone.
Anti-agingRetinyl acetate, Hyaluronic acid + 2 moreMay help
“This velvety formula melts into skin to instantly revive and rejuvenate, while its blend of superfoods boosts collagen and helps protect from pollution.”
This product contains retinyl acetate. 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.
Evens skin toneAscorbic acidNot delivered
“A 3-in-1 hard-working serum that tans, plumps and adds serious glow to skin for a flawless and natural, healthy tan, the formula even includes antioxidant-rich ingredients to brighten skin and boost collagen production.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Rubus idaeus seed oil, Vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract + 3 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (rubus idaeus seed oil) 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.
