Hello I wanted to know your opinion on this products list of ingredients for overall healthy skin and anti aging purposes? From what you read do you feel it will be worth buying? Thanks so much! Love your blog!
Water, Cyclopentasiloxane (silicone slip agent), Butylene Glycol (slip/water-binding agent), Glycerin (skin-repairing ingredient), Dimethicone (silicone slip agent), Polysorbate 20 (emulsifier), Polysilicone-11 (film-forming agent), Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone (silicone polymer), Hyaluronic Acid (skin-repairing ingredient), Resveratrol (antioxidant), Niacinamide (cell-communicating ingredient), Quercetin (antioxidant), Adenosine (cell-communicating ingredient), Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (vitamin C/antioxidant), Tocopherol (vitamin E/antioxidant), Phospholipids (skin-repairing ingredient), Ubiquinone, Epigallocatechin Gallate (antioxidants), Sea Whip Extract, Bisabolol, Beta Glucan (anti-irritants), Phytic Acid (chelating agent), Xanthan Gum (thickener), Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer (film-forming agent), Sodium Hydroxide (stabilizer), Disodium EDTA (chelating agent), Phenoxyethanol (preservative), Ethylhexylglycerin (skin-conditioning agent).
I recognize this product too but let’s leave brand names out of it for the moment and just focus on the science of the ingredients.
The moisturizing base of the product looks pretty solid with a combination of silicones (cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone) along with a good slug of water-binders/humectants (butylene glycol, glycerin, hyaluronic acid).The star of the show, in our opinion, is niacinamide. Assuming it’s present at a reasonable concentration, this ingredient is proven to brighten the complexion, erase wrinkles, reduce transepidermal water loss, improve elasticity, and fight inflammation.It’s also chock full of antioxidants, which is a good thing, even though researchers disagree on how measurable the effect of antioxidants are on skin.As long as this product is reasonable priced (around $20-$30 for a couple of ounces) then I’d say it’s a good deal.Great thanks so much Randy. I really appreciate this site and what you both do! It is very helpful. If you don’t mind can list another products ingredients and ask your opinion on that as well? Thanks again
Thanks so much, I sometimes get confused what I should look for in a product that will benefit the skin and help with anti aging etc.

This looks like a great lightweight facial moisturizer with effective levels of physical sunscreens. I also like the fact that it’s fragrance free so it’s less likely to irritate your skin. There’s nothing here that’s proven to have anti-aging benefits other than the sunscreens (and perhaps some of the antioxidants.) Looks good as long as the price is reasonable.
Great thanks so much Randy! I am glad I asked cause this was listed as one the best for anti aging purposes on a site a refer to alot, but I had doubts about the anti aging purposes this may give.
Well, remember that protection against photo-aging is also anti-aging and this product should do that nicely.
