“Snow Mushroom: Hydrates and locks in moisture for long-term retention.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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: argania spinosa kernel oil, diheptyl succinate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate

“-Watermelon and Apple Extracts (excellent sources of Vitamin C and A): Visibly plumps and brightens skin.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid.
Anti-agingN-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid + 1 moreMay help
“watermelon and apple extracts (both powerful sources of vitamin A and C) to diminish fine lines and restore uniformity”
This product contains n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate. 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid, Argania spinosa kernel oil + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid) 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.
