Works for
Anti-agingNiacinamide, Adenosine phosphate + 6 moreWorks well
“Niacinamide is a multifunction active ingredient providing multiple benefits for the skin evens skin tone, reduces the appearance of hyperpigmented spots, reduces pore size and oiliness, improves skin texture, enhances skin barrier function, diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and acts as an energising agent.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: adenosine phosphate, folic acid.
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.
Anti-blemishNiacinamide, Pantothenic acid + 3 moreWorks well
“Power B , Revitalising & Clearing”
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: pantothenic acid
Evens skin toneNiacinamide, Hydrolyzed yeast extractWorks well
“Niacinamide is a multifunction active ingredient providing multiple benefits for the skin evens skin tone, reduces the appearance of hyperpigmented spots, reduces pore size and oiliness, improves skin texture, enhances skin barrier function, diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and acts as an energising agent.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
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.
MoisturizingNot advertised by the brand · Niacinamide, Panthenol + 27 moreWorks well
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, hydrolyzed hyaluronic 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: chondrus crispus extract.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide, panthenol, urea

Ingredient callouts
- A good concentration of Niacinamide (4.70% - 5.70%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
- An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 3.90% - 4.80%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
- Humectants (saccharide isomerate 1.40% - 1.70%, panthenol 3.90% - 4.80%, hydrolyzed yeast extract 0.30% - 0.50%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.35% - 0.65%, glycerin 3.00% - 3.60%, sodium hyaluronate 0.30% - 0.55%, saccharomyces/zinc ferment 0.30% - 0.50%, saccharomyces/silicon ferment 0.30% - 0.50%, saccharomyces/magnesium ferment 0.30% - 0.55%, saccharomyces/iron ferment 0.30% - 0.50%, saccharomyces/copper ferment 0.30% - 0.50% and urea 0.70% - 1.05%).
