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, c13-14 isoparaffin.

dimethicone 2.1% - 3.2%

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 1.1% - 1.6%

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

propylene glycol 3.5% - 5.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can be irritating

Anti-aging

sodium ascorbyl phosphate 1.6% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C

lycium barbarum fruit extract 0.1% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and attract water to its upper layer

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

This Vitamin C Turbo Booster has been developed to help improve the appearance of dark spots and revive the skin’s complexion after just 4 weeks of use.
