Pisum sativum peptide, Octapeptide-2 + 5 more

Works well

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains octapeptide-2.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: biotinoyl tripeptide-1, myristoyl hexapeptide-16, myristoyl pentapeptide-17, pisum sativum peptide.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Camellia sinensis leaf extractEffect: LowCan 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~1.3–1.9%

Centella asiatica extractUnder-dosedA plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. Contains active compounds called centelloids: asiaticoside, madecasosside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It can be itself be irritating though.~0.15–0.6%

Moisturizing

Pisum sativum peptide, Octapeptide-2 + 14 more

Works well

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, glycogen.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: biotinoyl tripeptide-1, myristoyl hexapeptide-16, myristoyl pentapeptide-17, octapeptide-2, pisum sativum peptide

Ingredient callouts

Peptides (biotinoyl tripeptide-1 0.05% - 0.20%, myristoyl pentapeptide-17 0.05% - 0.25%, myristoyl hexapeptide-16 0.10% - 0.30%, biotinoyl tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.35%, octapeptide-2 0.10% - 0.40% and pisum sativum peptide 1.70% - 2.50%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
Humectants (glycogen 0.20% - 0.75%, glycerin 2.60% - 4.00% and sodium hyaluronate 3.40% - 5.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
