Ceramides (ceramide ap 0.45% - 0.70%, ceramide as 0.50% - 0.80%, ceramide ns 0.65% - 1.00%, ceramide eop 0.95% - 1.15% and ceramide np 1.20% - 1.40%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
Peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-2 1.40% - 1.70%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
Azelaic Acid (7.00% - 8.50%). This active can reduce hyperpigmentation. It also works helps against acne and clogged pores. Please note that Azelaic Acid is most effective against acne in concentrations between 10% and 20%.
Humectants (carnosine 1.60% - 2.00% and glycerin 4.20% - 5.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What can the product work for?

Anti-blemish

This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: azelaic acid. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

azelaic acid 7% - 8.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Is produced by a yeast that lives on normal human skin. It is used in medicine as a topical treatment for mild to moderate acne. It has a mild exfoliating effect. It can also help reduce hyperpigmentation, helps calm down inflammation and can help neutralize free radicals

Evens skin tone

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: azelaic acid

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

azelaic acid 7% - 8.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Anti-aging

This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-2, carnosine, epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside. 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.

carnosine 1.6% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin combatting the sun damage

epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside 0.35% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A synthetic version of green tea polyphenol that helps neutralize free radicals in skin

acetyl tetrapeptide-2 1.4% - 1.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Moisturizing

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: carnosine, 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: ceramide eop, ceramide np.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-2, ceramide ap, ceramide as, ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns

ceramide as 0.5% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin

ceramide eop 0.95% - 1.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

ceramide np 1.2% - 1.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (azelaic acid, carnosine, epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

carnosine 1.6% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of peptide. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin combatting the sun damage

epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside 0.35% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A synthetic version of green tea polyphenol that helps neutralize free radicals in skin

azelaic acid 7% - 8.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH
