“Natural self-tanning serum with Black tea infusion and hyaluronic acid Ultra-rapid bronzing effect A radiant and incredibly natural and glowing tan in less than an hour.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Anti-agingCamellia sinensis leaf, Camellia sinensis leaf extractNot delivered
“Its formula is also a super-moisturizing and smoothing treatment thanks to low molecular weight hydrolysed hyaluronic acid which improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin visibly plumped and hydrated while the antioxidant and protective Green Tea extract helps to strengthen the skin's defences.”
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.These ingredients - camellia sinensis leaf, 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 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, Camellia sinensis leaf extractMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf, camellia sinensis leaf extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.
