LUA's front label says Peptide Cream. The supplier’s published page for this formula makes that specific with three names: Hexapeptide-11, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate. Those are the terms worth noting if you want to compare LUA with another cream or ask about it.
Hexapeptide-11: the name behind “peptides”
“Peptides” covers a broad family of ingredients. The published list for this formula names one: Hexapeptide-11. Two creams that both highlight peptides may not share a single one, and the INCI name is how you check.
Two forms of hyaluronic acid
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate appear as two different names in that list. Writing out each name makes it easier to look them up separately.
To look up any of these names, the European Commission's CosIng database lists each ingredient's name and description. It tells you what an ingredient is, not what it will do in a particular formula.
What the list doesn't tell you
The order of the list won't give you percentages, and the front descriptor highlights only part of a formula that contains more. If a specific detail matters to your choice, ask about it and name the reference and the ingredient.
How and when to apply it is on the LUA product page. If you are deciding between ALBA and LUA by time of day, there is a separate comparison.
