Key actives
Product Summary
"AHC - Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream For Face" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, hexapeptide-9 and alanine) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide np, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, tripeptide-1 and cholesterol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- This product contains acids (gluconolactone 0.15% - 0.55% and lactic acid 0.15% - 0.50%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). PHAs (gluconolactone) especially are great for improving skin hydration. They might be even able to stimulate the production of skin's natural humectants and support the healthy skin microbiome.
- This moisturizer contains an effective form of Retinoids (vitamin A): retinal 0.15% - 0.55%. Retinoids are potent multitasking actives. They work to improve and prevent early signs of aging, reduce hyperpigmentation (age spots and post-acne marks), and prevent inflamed blemishes and clogged pores. The downside of Retinoids is that they can be irritating. If you are not already using a Retinoid in your routine, it is best to start slowly and apply the Retinoid product only a few times per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase the frequency to daily. Because of the irritation risk of Retinoids, we recommend to have another, retinoid-free moisturizer in your routine to use on the alternate days or when your skin feels dry.
- Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide np 0.15% - 0.70%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (sh-polypeptide-9 0.15% - 0.65%, sh-polypeptide-11 0.15% - 0.65%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.15% - 0.65%, sh-polypeptide-3 0.15% - 0.60%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.20% - 0.80%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.20% - 0.80%, hexapeptide-9 0.15% - 0.60%, hexapeptide-2 0.15% - 0.60%, tripeptide-3 0.15% - 0.60%, tripeptide-1 0.20% - 0.75%, copper tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.15% - 0.60%, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 0.15% - 0.65%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.15% - 0.60%, dipeptide-4 0.15% - 0.60%, dipeptide-2 0.15% - 0.60%, nonapeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60%, sh-polypeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60%, sh-oligopeptide-2 0.15% - 0.60%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.15% - 0.60%, acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.15% - 0.55%, saccharomyces polypeptides 0.15% - 0.55%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.15% - 0.55%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.15% - 0.55%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.15% - 0.55% and ascorbic acid polypeptide 0.15% - 0.55%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Adenosine 0.15% - 0.55%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).

Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
This eye cream offers brightening and anti-wrinkle care for youthful-looking eyes.
Source: Yesstyle
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains retinal, adenosine, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, ascorbic acid polypeptide, aspartic acid, atelocollagen, carnosine, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, dipeptide-1, dipeptide-2, dipeptide-4, folic acid, hexapeptide-2, hexapeptide-9, hydroxydecyl ubiquinone, lysine, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, saccharomyces polypeptides, serine, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-3, sh-polypeptide-9, threonine, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-3.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production
A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels.

Contains active compounds called centelloids: asiaticoside, madecasosside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It can be itself be irritating though.
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (carnosine, hydroxydecyl ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - ascorbic acid polypeptide, cysteine, ficus carica fruit extract, pyridoxine also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream For Face
Source: From product name
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
alanine, anhydroxylitol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, acetyl tetrapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, ascorbic acid polypeptide, ceramide np, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, dipeptide-2, dipeptide-4, hexapeptide-2, hexapeptide-9, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, saccharomyces polypeptides, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-3, sh-polypeptide-9, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-3

A naturally occurring peptide. One of the most studied peptides in dermatology. It is sometimes abbreviated GHK-Cu. Belongs to the class of carrier peptides. It stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of collagen in skin. It is released in skin wounds and inflammation to support healing. It accelerates wound-healing of the skin and can stimulate hair growth. There are preliminary studies that confirm that copper tripeptide can help support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles and decrease inflammation in skin.
