Ingredient callouts
Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.50% - 1.15% and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.85% - 1.25%). 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.
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 2.70% - 4.10% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.40% - 0.95%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.50% - 1.15%, glycerin 1.40% - 2.10%, hydrolyzed collagen 1.70% - 2.60%, betaine 2.10% - 3.10% and panthenol 2.70% - 4.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
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:
hydrolyzed collagen, saccharomyces/imperata cylindrica root ferment extract.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, panthenol
A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

Anti-aging
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4.
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.
Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
