Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Valmont - HYDRA3 REGENETIC CREAM" works well for improving skin hydration The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (urea, allantoin, glycerin, glycine and hydrolyzed collagen) 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 (glycosphingolipids and hydrolyzed collagen) 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

In addition, this moisturizer contains Allantoin (1.70% - 2.10%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.

Irritation risk

There are quite a few common irritants in this product, including ingredients without particular skin benefits. We would not recommend it for sensitive skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

What can the product work for?

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

A water dripping formula, this anti-aging cream stimulates the skin’s ability to hydrate deeply.

Source: N/A

This product contains serine. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

serine 0.15% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

camellia sinensis leaf extract 1.4% - 1.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

lactic acid 0.3% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

HYDRA3 REGENETIC CREAM

Source: From product name

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: allantoin, glycerin.

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: glycosphingolipids, hydrolyzed collagen.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea

allantoin 1.7% - 2.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated

glycine 0.45% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help restore the skin barrier function

glycosphingolipids 0.45% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of lipids naturally present in skin. They can be converted to ceramides in skin

Anti-oxidation

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.

camellia sinensis leaf extract 1.4% - 1.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

hordeum vulgare extract 0.4% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties. Avoid if you are sensitive to gluten
