“Fine Lines and Wrinkles, Dryness, and Dullness What Else You Need to Know.”
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:
algae extract, glycerin.
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, chondrus crispus extract.
ExfoliationMicrocrystalline cellulose, PapainNot delivered
“35 oz/ 10 g The Rice Polish Foaming Enzyme Powder in Classic .”
This product might help exfoliate the skin with papain, but This ingredient is not the most effective.
Anti-agingCamellia sinensis leaf extract, Algae extract + 2 moreNot delivered
“Fine Lines and Wrinkles, Dryness, and Dullness What Else You Need to Know.”
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 - camellia sinensis leaf extract - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
This ingredient camellia sinensis leaf extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Phytosteryl/octyldodecyl lauroyl glutamate + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) 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.
