What the gurus are saying
Instant plumping works, though similar results come from much cheaper products. The alpha-3 peptide is supposed to boost collagen and elastin production, but the company's own study was not placebo controlled, so it is unclear if the peptide is actually doing the work. It feels nice to use, but the value proposition does not quite add up.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
