This is a potent anti-aging and wrinkle-filling product.

There is also silicone to keep eye-area smooth and even instantly "fill" fine lines. But the effect is only temporary and overdose will cause pore-clogging.

This cream should be suitable for fragile and dry skin due to richly moisturizing ingredients. For example shea butter and astrocaryum murumuru butter which is a natural moisturizing factor for skin.

I am very impressed with its antioxidant content. There are abundant tea extract, algae and vitamin E, all proven effective against free radical damage and aging. The ingredient polygonum cuspidatum root extract is extract of the Japanese knotweed plant. When eaten it may have weak estrogenic activity. Dermatological application also has antioxidant properties. It may help dark circles but the effect won’t be strong.

In terms of wrinkle correction effect lies in the ingredient glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The skin is composed of two layers, epidermis and dermis. The epidermis consists of many layers of dead skin, which are supported by the dermis. The dermis is made up of a network of collagen fibers and elastin, surrounded by a gel-like substance called the Ground substance. The ground substance is composed glycosaminoglycans (formerly called mucopolysaccharides), non-collagen proteins and water. Glycosaminoglycans promote the ability of collagen fibers to retain water and bind moisture into the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The addition of glycosaminoglycans results in skin that has more moisture and increased flexibility.

Some ingredients are natural fragrant plant extracts but it may be irritating and sensitizing for some skin type.

Safety alert: Cautious
