Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

What is this product?

The EGF on the front is the least useful thing on this list: it is genuinely present, as sh-Oligopeptide-1, but it sits 63rd of 73 ingredients with no amount stated and it is a protein of roughly 6 kilodaltons, far too large to cross intact skin. What is actually good here is the barrier work the marketing underplays: five different ceramide subtypes plus free stearic and palmitic acid, and one of the most complete centella sets in this category at six separate entries. Two things should rule it out for some people: it is lipid rich enough to be a poor choice if malassezia drives your breakouts, and propolis at 39 is a well known contact allergen.

What makes it different?

Nine peptides crowd the last eleven positions, copper tripeptide-1, acetyl hexapeptide-8, two palmitoyl peptides and four sh- prefixed growth factor materials among them, every one after position 62 and none with a stated amount. The ceramide set is where the real substance is: NP at 28, then NS, AS, EOP and AP between 37 and 41, with free fatty acids at 18 and 34, though no cholesterol appears anywhere in the 73 ingredients, so the barrier trio is two thirds built. Niacinamide sits high at 4, and despite the light in its name the top third carries a full emollient and wax structure, with shea butter at 23 and baobab seed oil at 30 behind it, no fragrance entry and no drying alcohol anywhere in the 73, and it comes in 80ml.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 3 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.
