Works for
MoisturizingAcetyl octapeptide-3, Palmitoyl oligopeptide + 22 moreWorks well
“Powered by Hydrolysed Wheat Protein and Tripeptide-10 Citrulline (a unique peptide that helps to support collagen production), the fast-absorbing, non-greasy treatment locks in moisture and hydration, whilst minimising the appearance of deep wrinkles and facial expression lines.”
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:
algae extract, glycerin.
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: algae extract, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl octapeptide-3, palmitoyl oligopeptide, panthenol, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline, urea
Anti-agingAcetyl octapeptide-3, Palmitoyl oligopeptide + 6 moreMay help
“Delivering an instant tightening effect, the men's Zirh Repair Deep Wrinkle Concentrate works to fight signs of ageing around the eyes, forehead and lips.”
This product contains acetyl octapeptide-3, palmitoyl oligopeptide, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline. These ingredients 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

Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.20% - 0.40%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
- Peptides (tripeptide-10 citrulline 0.35% - 0.60%, tripeptide-1 0.35% - 0.60%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.65% - 0.95% and acetyl octapeptide-3 4.20% - 5.10%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Humectants (urea 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.40%, yeast extract 0.20% - 0.40%, saccharide isomerate 0.55% - 0.80%, glycerin 1.60% - 2.00%, algae extract 3.10% - 3.70% and acetyl octapeptide-3 4.20% - 5.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
