Question

Could you please help analyze the ingredients in two Lancome products:

  1. Lancome Visionnaire LR2412 Correcting Polishing Cream (Ingredients provided)
  2. Lancome Blanc Expert Melanolyser Whiteness Activating Spot Eraser (Ingredient list needed)

Specifically, I would like to understand the function and efficacy of the key ingredients, particularly Sodium Tetrahydro Jasmonate, and compare it with other ingredients like Kinetin if possible. Please also analyze the second product once the ingredient list is available.

Answer

Regarding your request to analyze the two Lancome products:

  1. Lancome Visionnaire LR2412 Correcting Polishing Cream:
    Based on the ingredient list you provided, key ingredients discussed include:

    • Sodium Tetrahydro Jasmonate: As discussed previously, this is a plant hormone and a patented ingredient by Lancome. Research on its efficacy is primarily conducted by Lancome, which means independent validation is limited. Lancome claims it offers significant skin benefits.
    • Hyaluronic Acid: This ingredient is well-known for its hydrating properties, helping to keep the skin moisturized.
      The discussion also touched upon comparing Sodium Tetrahydro Jasmonate with Kinetin, another plant hormone, although safety concerns regarding Kinetin at higher concentrations were raised by the staff.
  2. Lancome Blanc Expert Melanolyser Whiteness Activating Spot Eraser:
    We cannot provide an ingredient-based analysis for this product as the ingredient list was not provided.

If you can provide the ingredient list for the Blanc Expert Melanolyser, we would be happy to analyze it for you.
