Adenosine 0.45% - 1.05%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.35% - 0.85% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in this product (2.10% - 3.10%) can also further help improve the skin barrier. It might be able to calm down inflammation and reduce sensitivity. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is an active compound from the licorice root.
In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.30% - 2.00%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.50%, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.15% - 0.65%, panthenol 0.35% - 0.85%, betaine 0.55% - 1.35%, allantoin 1.30% - 2.00%, dipotassium glycyrrhizate 2.10% - 3.10% and glycerin 4.10% - 6.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because
it
contains
adenosine.
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.
Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)
Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Contains various seaweed ingredients such as chlorella, sea mustard, kelp and spirulina, which help to improve skin elasticity while keeping skin hydrated.
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called
"humectants":
allantoin, betaine.
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: panthenol
A salt derived from licorice. Works as an emollient to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help calm down inflammation. Might be helpful for skin lightening
Brown seaweed extract. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some antioxidant effect

This product contains ingredients (dipotassium glycyrrhizate) 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.
