This product contains atelocollagen. 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.

atelocollagen 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A protein that helps to attract moisture to the upper layer of the skin and might be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles

magnesium aluminum silicate 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and, when combined with zinc carbonate and malonic acid, reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating elastin production. Also helps stabilize the product formulation

tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.

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: sodium chondroitin sulfate, 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: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, cera microcristallina.

atelocollagen 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A protein that helps to attract moisture to the upper layer of the skin and might be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles

bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 4.9% - 7.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce water loss from its surface

cera microcristallina 0.9% - 1.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss from its surface and create a thicker product consistency
