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.

About the brand

According to Cruelty-Free Kitty "Tula" is cruelty free, but its parent company is not.

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

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.

Source: Tula

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.

niacinamide 1.3% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production

pentapeptide-34 trifluoroacetate 0.45% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A type of peptide that works as a great moisturizer. It might also have some anti-aging effect and help neutralize free radicals in skin

lactococcus ferment lysate 1.2% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Consists of remains of dead bacteria cells. Is likely helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin. Might be helpful in reducing inflammation and neutralizing free radicals in skin

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

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.

Source: Tula

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.

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: 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

lactobacillus ferment 0.35% - 0.85%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus. The fermented product has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can be used as a preservative

lactococcus ferment lysate 1.2% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Consists of remains of dead bacteria cells. Is likely helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin. Might be helpful in reducing inflammation and neutralizing free radicals in skin

niacinamide 1.3% - 2%

Anti-blemish

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.

niacinamide 1.3% - 2%

inulin 0.35% - 0.85%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is claimed to support the growth of "good" bacteria in skin (as a "prebiotic"), but the research is lacking

Anti-oxidation

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.

pentapeptide-34 trifluoroacetate 0.45% - 1%
