Youth To The People Triple Peptide and Cactus Oasis Serum
Works for
MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 16 moreWorks well
“This three-in-one intensely hydrating, plumping, and firming serum instantly revitalizes dry, dehydrated skin and plumps the look of fine lines and wrinkles with a moisture-multiplying matrix of peptides, hyaluronic acid, and super replenishing cactus stem.”
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, polyglutamic acid.
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: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Evens skin toneGlutathioneWorks well
“It’s infused with four different weights of hyaluronic acid to lock moisture within the different layers of your skin; a triple bio-peptide blend then helps to stimulate collagen production, in turn, diminishing the look of fine lines and improving your texture and tone; finally, organic cactus and rambutan peel bind moisture to your skin to fend against dehydration.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glutathione
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 2 moreMay help
“Dose after dose, the concentrated formula helps support natural collagen production to keep your skin firm, bouncy, and more youthful-looking.”
This product contains palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-28. These ingredients 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-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Glutathione, Citrullus lanatus fruit extract + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (glutathione) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.50% - 1.90% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 1.90% - 2.30%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.55% - 0.80%, sodium hyaluronate 1.00% - 1.20%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.50% - 0.75%, polyglutamic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium lactate 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium pca 0.30% - 0.55% and glycerin 4.10% - 5.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
