WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains lactobionic 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.

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: lactobionic acid

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.

WIMJ summary

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: lactobionic acid.

WIMJ summary

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, glycogen.

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: dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: lactobionic acid

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
glycogen	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (lactobionic acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
lactobionic acid A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing a smoother, more even skin. PHAs tend to be gentler on the skin compared to AHAs (for example, glycolic acid). It also has hydrating properties and helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help calm down inflammation in skin and support restoration of the barrier function. It has an anti-oxidant effect as well. It can help reduce fine line, wrinkles and improve skin elasticity	4% - 5.9%
propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can be irritating	3.2% - 4.8%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	2.6% - 3.8%
ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp copolymer Increases thickness of a product. Texture enhancer for oil-in-water emulsions	2% - 3%
cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin	1.7% - 2.5%
polysilicone-11 A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel	1.4% - 2.2%
sodium lactate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product	1.2% - 1.8%
dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish	1.1% - 1.6%
caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin	0.85% - 1.3%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.5% - 1%
mannitol Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.85%
laminaria digitata extract Seaweed extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but good research is lacking at the moment	0.35% - 0.8%
yeast extract Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin	0.2% - 0.8%
acrylates copolymer Used to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen) and create a thicker product consistency	0.2% - 0.8%
behenyl alcohol Non-drying alcohol that helps water and oil mix together. Also serves as an emollient	0.3% - 0.75%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	0.3% - 0.7%
magnesium aspartate Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and calm down inflammation in skin	0.15% - 0.6%
mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light	0.15% - 0.65%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.1% - 0.45%

disodium adenosine triphosphate	0.1% - 0.4%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.1% - 0.4%
hydrogenated castor oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency	0.1% - 0.45%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.1% - 0.4%
stearyl alcohol An emollient that helps soften the skin	0.1% - 0.5%
alaria esculenta extract Works as a humectant helping to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might be effective as an anti-oxidant.	0.1% - 0.4%
protease	0.1% - 0.35%
subtilisin	0.1% - 0.35%
glycogen Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.1% - 0.35%
magnesium ascorbyl phosphate A derivative of vitamin C that is more stable, but less bioavailable than the pure form of vitamin C. It does not penetrate the skin well, but has been shown to convert to pure vitamin C once in skin. It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production and lightening the skin tone, but the required concentration is likely to be very high	0.1% - 0.4%
benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating	0.05% - 0.25%

In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin	0.05% - 0.2%
