Rich Cream.

"Objectively speaking there's nothing wrong with the ingredients. I do imagine that people who use this and love it appreciate an improvement in moisture content in their skin, skin luminosity, radiance. Do I think that you need this cream versus any other moisturizer to get those types of results? No. This is not something I would ever buy myself. It has a peptide in it, Palmetto oil tripeptide eight. Peptides probably just mostly act as humectants. We rely on the manufacturer studies which are obviously going to be biased. It's not like they're testing these peptides in rigorous double-blind placebo-controlled trials or anything. This particular peptide in cells in a dish type models show reduction in inflammatory markers after UV radiation in skin explants, so a model not on an actual human. This peptide has been shown to be associated with a decrease in dilated capillaries and when used on actual humans who have the skin condition rosacea, this particular peptide is associated with a decrease in persistent facial redness. However, that particular study on the patients with rosacea was using a product that not only had this peptide but also had caffeine in it, and caffeine can likewise help in minimizing redness, so whether or not it was the peptide or something else in this cream like the caffeine, hard to say."
