ПРИКЛАД (EN) · Firming cream

This formula is strongly built around humectants and emollients: glycerin, dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol, propanediol, and sodium hyaluronate all help bind water. Hydrogenated polydecene, caprylic/capric triglyceride, and shea butter reduce moisture loss, so the skin should feel cushioned for a long time. The effect is driven by both ingredient position and the combined presence of multiple water-binding agents.

This is a very active anti-aging composition with retinal, bakuchiol, adenosine, and several peptides such as copper tripeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, and palmitoyl tripeptide-1. Ascorbic acid and tocopherol add antioxidant support, while collagen derivatives mainly support a smoother feel rather than true collagen rebuilding. The score is driven by the presence of multiple proven actives, even though some are likely present at supportive rather than dominant levels.

The formula is rich in replenishing lipids and soothing helpers, including shea butter, macadamia oil, sunflower seed oil, argan oil, camellia seed oil, and rose hip oil. Ceramide NP, lecithin, allantoin, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate support a more comfortable, repaired-feeling skin surface. The many oils and emollients suggest strong nourishment, while the repair support comes from barrier-friendly ingredients rather than a single standout ingredient.

Ceramide NP is the clearest barrier-focused ingredient here, and it is backed by lecithin, shea butter, and fatty alcohols like stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol. Hydrogenated polydecene and silicone film formers can also help reduce transepidermal water loss. The formula looks well suited to skin that needs a more protected, less stripped feel.

This is a potentially stimulating formula because it contains retinal, bakuchiol, ascorbic acid, and several fragrant botanicals such as lavender flower water, clary extract, sage oil, and anise fruit extract. Those ingredients can be effective, but they also raise the chance of stinging or sensitivity, especially on reactive skin. The presence of soothing ingredients like allantoin and chamomile helps, but they do not fully offset the actives and fragrance-related load.
