Prateeksha, every ingredient is different. For salicylic acid, 2% is ok. For L-Ascorbic Acid, you’ll often find 15%. And for retinol, 0.3% is often enough.

@Eight – It’s hard to ignore the loud flashy words on the front of a packaging. Especially when the back of the label is so tiny our eyes start to go cross-eyed.

@Gio – The first five makeup ingredients really does help give you a bigger picture of what we’d get. I love to use this on food items as well. Thank you for providing us your tips.

That’s so true. Marketing claims don’t really say anything.

I’ve been googling the biohyaluron line from eveline and, although I couldn’t find the complete ingredient lists, they are supposed to contain “a complex of vitamins A, E, F, d-panthenol and Allantoin” and trademarked compounds such as Aquareviporin ®, so my guess is that they are listing the single components of these substances using the slashes. Usually, with patented ingredients, the single components are listed separately based on their concentrations in the product, but maybe eveline is doing things differently. I could be wrong though.

You’re welcome. 🙂

It claims a “super effect 4D” (… yeah) effect, 3 sizes of hyaluronic acid particles and plant stem cells, so… I’ve no idea 😀 .
I mean, with marketing-speak, that could mean anything.

And thank you, Gio, for you research.
