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, butylene glycol.

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, oryza sativa bran oil.

dimethicone 0.3% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish

glycerin 3.1% - 3.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

oryza sativa bran oil 2% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant properties

Anti-aging

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

prunus amygdalus dulcis oil 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An emollient that softens the skin

lactic acid 0.2% - 0.35%

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)

magnesium ascorbyl phosphate 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A derivative of vitamin C that is more stable, but less bioavailable than the pure form of vitamin C. It does not penetrate the skin well, but has been shown to convert to pure vitamin C once in skin. It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production and lightening the skin tone, but the required concentration is likely to be very high

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

Vita Citral Anti-Spot Care Anti Brown Spot & Anti-Ageing Cream 75ml is a hand cream recommended to reduce wrinkles, pigment marks, and to act against loss of firmness.Thanks to its brightening complex, the Whitesphere Premium, it inhibits the formation of melanin and enhances the marks removal, and, thanks to its anti-ageing patented active Iparazine 4A, it preserves the youthfulness of the skin and protects the degradation of the main dermis components.

This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

glycyrrhiza glabra root extract 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals

lactic acid 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!
