Tula Tri-Supreme Serum overnight oil concentrate
Works for
Anti-agingNiacinamide, Pentapeptide-34 trifluoroacetate + 3 moreWorks well
“This clinically-proven formula minimizes the look of fine lines and wrinkles*, as well as deep wrinkles**, working overtime to help improve skin’s moisture barrier and improve the appearance of skin tone and texture while you sleep.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: pentapeptide-34 trifluoroacetate.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Ceramide ns + 23 moreWorks well
“This clinically-proven formula minimizes the look of fine lines and wrinkles*, as well as deep wrinkles**, working overtime to help improve skin’s moisture barrier and improve the appearance of skin tone and texture while you sleep.”
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, lactobacillus ferment.
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: dimethicone, 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 as, ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns, niacinamide, pentapeptide-34 trifluoroacetate
Evens skin toneNiacinamideWorks well
“This clinically-proven formula minimizes the look of fine lines and wrinkles*, as well as deep wrinkles**, working overtime to help improve skin’s moisture barrier and improve the appearance of skin tone and texture while you sleep.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
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.
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Niacinamide, Oenothera biennis oil + 2 moreWorks well
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Rubus idaeus seed oil, Pentapeptide-34 trifluoroacetate + 9 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (pentapeptide-34 trifluoroacetate) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - rubus idaeus seed oil also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

Ingredient callouts
- A good concentration of Niacinamide (1.30% - 2.00%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
- Ceramides (ceramide eop 0.45% - 1.00%, ceramide ap 0.40% - 0.90%, ceramide as 0.40% - 0.95%, ceramide ns 0.50% - 1.15% and ceramide np 0.50% - 1.20%). 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 (peptide q10 0.45% - 1.00%). 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.
- Humectants (lactobacillus ferment 0.35% - 0.85% and glycerin 1.00% - 1.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
