Product summary

Ingredient callouts

  • This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.15% - 0.30%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
  • Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.25% - 0.45%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.25% - 0.45% and palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.15% - 0.30%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
  • Humectants (dextran 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium lactate 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium pca 0.20% - 0.40%, glycerin 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium lactate 0.30% - 0.50%, sodium pca 0.40% - 0.65% and glycerin 2.30% - 2.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
