What does the product description say?

"The potent cocktail works to improve the appearance of elasticity and firmness within the skin, encouraging the look of plumpness and tautness."

Lookfantastic

WIMJ summary

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 squalene might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

What does the product description say?

"Cleanse and exfoliate the skin with the Flower Petal Mask or Enzyme Peel Mask to remove dead skin and impurities."

Allbeauty

WIMJ summary

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.

"In just five to ten minutes, the mask helps to support normal levels of hydration and the appearance of elasticity."

WIMJ summary

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, sodium lactate.

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: beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
caprylic/capric triglyceride	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
sodium lactate	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (squalene) 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.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	23% - 34%
squalene An oil that is naturally part of skin sebum that helps to soften its upper layer, reduce water loss and neutralize free radicals. It might be comedogenic. Avoid applying large concentrations (or pure oil) before sun exposure as oxidized squalene can clog pores and lead to skin irritation. Today squalene is mostly derived from vegetable oils or synthetized by yeast	5.3% - 7.9%
beeswax Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen	5.2% - 7.9%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	3.6% - 5.5%
cetearyl ethylhexanoate An emollient that helps soften the skin	3.1% - 4.6%
caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin	2.4% - 3.6%
polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate Helps oil and water mix together	1.7% - 2.6%
mel Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and attract water to it	1.5% - 2.3%
honey Helps attract water to the skin and might have some anti-bacterial properties. Can be an allergen	1.3% - 2%
sorbitan sesquioleate Used to help oil and water mix together. Can be irritating	1.2% - 1.7%
sodium lactate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product	1% - 1.5%
sucrose polystearate Helps oil and water mix together	1% - 1.5%
