Anti-oxidationSuperoxide dismutase, Vitis vinifera seed extract + 3 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, vitis vinifera seed extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - camellia sinensis extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
MoisturizingPanthenol, Glycerin + 7 moreWorks well
“Tones and hydrates Gently refines pores Purifies the complexion Balances the skin Provides antioxidant protection against damaging free radicals Revitalizes, soothes and de-stresses skin Leaves skin soft, smooth & refreshed Provides the perfect skin preparation for other Z. Bigatti Treatments Oil, alcohol, & fragrance free Re-Storation Silk Toner is the perfect prelude to a refreshed and luminous complexion.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, mel.
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
ExfoliationRetinyl palmitateNot delivered
“An indulgence of fruit acids and botanical extracts blend with potent antioxidants, enzymes and vitamins to refine, gently exfoliate and balance the skin.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · Vitis vinifera seed extract, Retinyl palmitateMay help
This product contains vitis vinifera seed extract. 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
