Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "VENN Skincare - Age-Reversing All-In-One Concentrate GWP" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. VENN Skincare - Age-Reversing All-In-One Concentrate GWP ticks this box. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, panthenol, arginine, carnosine and glycerin) 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). Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, glycosaminoglycans, arginine and beeswax in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • This moistruizer also contains peptides (copper tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.65%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.65%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.70% and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.70%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, 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 peptides in skincare are helpful. They 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.
  • Adenosine 0.15% - 0.50% in this product adds an anti-aging property to it. Adenosine is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of adenosine in a low concentration reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where we our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
  • This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.55% - 1.30% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
