Works for
Anti-agingSh-oligopeptide-1May help
“Intensive skin serum works to brighten and even out complexion by removing dull and yellowish skin, one of the first signs of skin aging.”
This product contains sh-oligopeptide-1. 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.
Evens skin toneArbutinMay help
“Intensive skin serum works to brighten and even out complexion by removing dull and yellowish skin, one of the first signs of skin aging.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: arbutin.
ExfoliationAllantoinNot delivered
“Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) then gently buffs away dead and rough skin cells to reveal the radiant and youthful layer underneath, while Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract improves skin elasticity and slows down skin aging.”
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.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Sh-oligopeptide-1, Allantoin + 3 moreWorks well
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": allantoin, glycerin.
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: sh-oligopeptide-1
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Arbutin, Camellia sinensis extract + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (arbutin, camellia sinensis extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
