MoisturizingTheobroma cacao seed butter, Mangifera indica seed butter + 14 moreGood evidence
“A diamond infused moisturiser that illuminates, hydrates and targets signs of aging to give your skin a subtly luminous, lit-from-within look.”
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, hyaluronic acid.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
Anti-agingHyaluronic acid, Aloe barbadensis leaf juiceLimited evidence
“A diamond infused moisturiser that illuminates, hydrates and targets signs of aging to give your skin a subtly luminous, lit-from-within look.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - hyaluronic acid - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin toneNo ingredient credited for this claimNo evidence
“This moisturiser also creates a double plumping effect that hydrates skin while helping minimise the look of wrinkles and helps improve the look of firmness and tone to minimise visible signs of aging and promote an overall youthful appearance with the help of Dual weight hyaluronic acid and Buckbean extract.”
