There is exceptionally large amount of silicone in this serum. Silicone will mattify skin, make pores appear smaller, impart temporary smooth feeling. But this much silicone may risk clogging pores.

This serum does contain innovative anti-aging ingredients. The ingredient alfalfa leaves extract contain betacarotene, vitamins C, D, E, and the coagulant, Vitamin K. It also contains various trace minerals, including calcium, potassium, and iron. So it provides essential nutrients to skin, stimulates microcirculation, and reverses free radical damage.

Adding to the antioxidant list, there are sodium ascorbyl phosphate(vitamin C), vitamin A and vitamin E.

This serum also promotes collagen generation and thus reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Lupinus albus seed extract is said to have the ability to increase the synthesis of type I collagen and promote production of high quality collagen to give skin firmness and elasticity. Plus there are peptides, building blocks of collagen protein.

Nice to see panax ginseng root extract in there too. Ginseng is precious herb therapy and may have potent antioxidant properties to promote wound healing.
