Works for
MoisturizingCeramide np, Ceramide ap + 16 moreWorks well
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:
betaine, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Vitis vinifera seed extract, Centaurea cyanus flower extract + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (vitis vinifera seed extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · Vitis vinifera seed extract, Retinyl acetate + 1 moreMay help
This product contains retinyl acetate, vitis vinifera seed extract. These ingredients 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.

Ingredient callouts
- this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl acetate 0.20% - 0.40%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
- Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.45% - 0.70%, ceramide eop 0.50% - 0.70%, ceramide ap 0.50% - 0.75% and ceramide np 0.65% - 1.00%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Humectants (betaine 0.25% - 0.40%, trehalose 0.35% - 0.60% and glycerin 0.95% - 1.15%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
