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: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3.

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, diisostearyl malate.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, tripeptide-1

Product summary

"UNLEASHIA - Shop Unleashia Sunset Dazzle Gloss Balm in Australia - Korean Skincare Online" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. UNLEASHIA - Shop Unleashia Sunset Dazzle Gloss Balm in Australia - Korean Skincare Online ticks this box. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3 and caprylyl glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, tripeptide-1, dimethicone, diisostearyl malate and caprylyl glycol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

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 moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.20% - 0.75%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.65%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.15% - 0.65%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.10% - 0.45%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.10% - 0.50% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.50%). 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. Peptides 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.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: titanium dioxide and vitamin c
