MoisturizingGlycerin, Hydrolyzed collagen + 5 moreGood evidence
“Powered by an Anti-Sebum Complex and a blend of Dead Sea Salt and Madagascar Mud, the formula helps to absorb excess oil, tighten pores and replenish hydration for a brightened and balanced finish.”
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, hydrolyzed collagen.
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.
Anti-blemishTaurine, Kaolin + 1 moreWeak evidence
“Tako Pore One Shot Nose Pack”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Ulmus davidiana root extract + 2 moreModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) 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.
