“What it is A three-in-one serum that smooths the look of fine lines and texture with lactic acid from Hadasei-3TM, visibly plumps with hyaluronic acid, and locks in moisture with squalane.”
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, hydrolyzed collagen.
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: dimethicone, squalane.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Comprising 73% of the serum, this blend of twice-fermented Akita rice, Okinawa algae and Uji green tea delivers high levels of gentle AHAs and lactic acid to help remove the dead skin cells that can dull a complexion.The serum also includes hyaluronic acid to help plump the skin, working to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while squalane locks in moisture.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Stearyl glycyrrhetinate, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 1 moreMay help
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: stearyl glycyrrhetinate.

I love the mist sprayer it is the best. The product is ok it does do well with my super picky skin.Now that I am older I need my cosmetics to do more than look pretty on the vanity. I need them to work. I honestly have found better substitutes with more in the bottle. It's a lot of money for a good spray bottle.
