MoisturizingButyrospermum parkii butter, Glycerin + 16 moreWorks
“A proprietary Marine Complex delicately balances a unique blend of Algae extracts with 17 active regenerative ingredients, seeking to deeply hydrate and replenish skin while smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a refined and lifted visage.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butter, Sodium salicylate + 2 moreNot delivered
“Based upon extensive research and testing, the rich moisturiser combines high performance active biotechnology with plant-based molecules to deliver dramatic anti-ageing results.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - butyrospermum parkii butter, sodium salicylate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
