“Refined and fast-absorbing, this cream, rich in Rosemary extracts, is supreme in revitalizing the epidermis.”
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:
biosaccharide gum-1, propylene 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
Evens skin toneNot advertised by the brand · Retinyl palmitate, Ethyl linoleateMay help
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: ethyl linoleate, retinyl palmitate.
Anti-blemishNot advertised by the brand · Retinyl palmitate, Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract + 1 moreMay help
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains ethyl linoleate.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: retinyl palmitate, rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract
Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · Retinyl palmitate, Prunus amygdalus dulcis oilMay help
This product contains retinyl palmitate. 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.

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect

Product summary
"Yon-Ka Paris Skincare - Phyto 58 PS" could be helpful for: Evens skin tone, Anti-blemish, Moisturizing and Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 2.00% (declared), but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
- Humectants (biosaccharide gum-1 0.25% - 0.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Price
The product retails for 74.00$ in the United States.
